About this episode

Joe Polish and Ken Wells discuss the toxic nature of achievement and the importance of finding meaning in everyday moments.

Joe Polish sits down with addiction therapist and Author Ken Wells for a raw conversation about what happens when the drive to achieve becomes toxic. Ken has spent more than 30 years sitting with some of the world's most successful and most broken people, and what he has learned about sex addiction, shame, and the brilliance hiding in ordinary moments is something every driven Entrepreneur needs to hear. Here's what you're about to discover in this conversation: What to do when your obsession for achievement feels contracting and becomes toxic and negative.

Transforming shame into greater compassion for yourself and for the world around you. How to go through insurmountable grief, reduce human suffering, and heal your life.
