This podcast episode is one of the most transformative podcasts I have ever listened to. I talk about it in my blog post, Ultimate Superpower: Self-Love, where I realized that I did not love myself upon hearing this episode. It was pretty surprising and earth-shattering but also a pivotal moment in my healing and growth. That was when I decided to love myself unconditionally and without judgment, a practice that would take time and commitment to master, yet one that would create a beautiful state of being.
Listen to the entire conversation for full context, which can be found here.

My 5 favorite quotes from the conversation:
“Self-love is an internal thing, it’s a mind set, it’s a belief. It’s a rock solid belief where your thoughts, and your feelings, and your emotions rise from. If they rise from there, the your life rises from there”
Kamal Ravikant
“It’s not about being selfish. It’s not being narcissistic. It’s a state of being where your choices, and your thoughts, and your feelings rise from. The more I work on it, the more I do it, the more I notice I just make better choices. It’s my state of mind. It’s who I am inside. It’s how I feel, how I look at the world…. It’s a beautiful place to be inside.”
Kamal Ravikant
“We weren’t taught this in school… You do it for yourself. And the great thing is the human mind, the inside, is so malleable… It’s such a beautiful gift. You can craft this being to who you want it to be, to who you want to be… Very simple things you have to do inside and you start to shift. And then when you start to shift, life starts to shift.”
Kamal Ravikant
“I think a really valuable part of the book (Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It) that you say is, maybe when you first start telling yourself that (”I love myself”) you don’t really believe it and it’s really hard to feel it. And I think that takes some of the pressure off. It doesn’t matter. Just say it.”
Aubrey Marcus
“We spend more time watching garbage on YouTube than actually, literally freeing ourselves.”
