Perfectionism, Burnout, and Self-Doubt: Break the Loop with the Science of Mattering | Gordon Flett
1h 6m
This week, 10% Happier examines the psychological traps that keep us stuck: the perfectionism and self-doubt that fuel burnout, the overthinking patterns that amplify anxiety, and the very human tendency to outsource our thinking to gurus and belief systems. Across three conversations, the podcast explores both the roots of these struggles and practical tools—from understanding what makes us feel like we matter, to Buddhist-informed techniques for redirecting an overactive mind, to developing a healthier skepticism about where we place our faith.
