    Dec 19 2024
    Get my free End Of Year Review Template here - https://chriswillx.com/review/ It’s the end of 2024 and to celebrate I thought I’d run through some of the best lessons I’ve picked up over the last 12 months. This year has had over 10,000 minutes of episodes produced so there was a lot to choose from but I ended up settling on 16 insights from some of my favourite conversations both inside and outside of the podcast. Expect to learn what the insecure overachiever mindset is, whether success has to be painful, why men aren’t seen as having problems, how come so many people in shape have an issue with Ozempic users, whether you can be good if you can’t be evil, Elon Musk’s reflections on being a CEO, what to do if you don’t believe in yourself and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get $350 off the Pod 4 Ultra at https://eightsleep.com/modernwisdom (use code MODERNWISDOM) Get the best bloodwork analysis in America and bypass Function’s 400,000-person waitlist at https://functionhealth.com/modernwisdom Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period from Shopify at https://shopify.com/modernwisdom Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.

Can't believe only 2 reviews. Fantastic podcast.

Glad this is on Audible. Probably the best podcast. Me and a friend of mine both listen to this podcast on long runs.

Also the sponsorships are actually useful to listen to and relevant, which is unusual.

Disappointed

This probably would have been really good at the beginning but as time goes on, podcasts invite too many guests. Unfortunately some guests and intelligent enough to stick to their area of expertise. Listened to two episodes and was left disappointed. I found them to be a waste of time rather than "modern wisdom"
