About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges faced by men who struggle with maturity and responsibility, often referred to as 'man-children'.

Join Boy to Man: https://www.gandhiuniversity.com/manDo you have big dreams but your actions fail to match your words? Do you feel that you are special and carry big potential?Do you start new things with great enthusiasm but stop as soon as things get hard?Did you have an overprotective mother and weak/absent father growing up?If you said yes, chances are you a man-child or what Carl Jung referred to as "a puer aeternus". This is adult male who remains stuck in an adolescent mind-frame, resisting maturity, responsibility, and commitment. You are attached with the idea of being this magical child of unlimited potential that you never do the work required to actualize that potential. You hate it when reality asks you to act normally and do normie tasks, you start things then very quickly to retreat back to your safety.Join Boy to Man: https://www.gandhiuniversity.com/man0:00 The Man-Child problem (puer aeternus)0:53 Why you are lost in life1:55 Role of your parents2:42 Hating small talk4:00 Dopamine circuitry in a mature man4:17 Dopamine circuitry in an immature man5:07 You're living in a fantasy10:30 The cureJoin Boy to Man: https://www.gandhiuniversity.com/manSaurabh…
