Episode 28: Increasing Your Self-Worth: The Key to True Happiness and Success

The Evolved Caveman Podcast w/ Dr. John Schinnerer

In this high-energy episode, Dr. John dives illuminates the differences between self-worth, self-esteem, and self-confidence. Why is this so important? Discover why some men have been incredibly successful yet (often) still feel lousy about themselves. This is the critical difference between self-worth and self-esteem. Self-esteem is built from the outside in (i.e., compliments from others, likes on social media, and external recognition). Self-worth is infinitely more powerful and is built from the inside out (i.e., acting based upon your values and praising yourself when you are doing so). Find out why the difference is life-changing in terms of your happiness, and thus, your success. Brace yourself for metaphors, personal anecdotes, and actionable advice to silence your inner critic, set boundaries, and track your wins. Tune in for 5 steps you can take to improve your self-worth so you can thrive like never before!
