Redefining Failure, Effective Parenting, and Facing Pain | AMA Vol. 19 with Dr. Michael Gervais

Charles Duhigg, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Supercommunicators, returns to Finding Mastery for another conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais. A timely, science-backed look at why so many of our conversations break down, and the small shift in attention that changes almost every relationship you have.

Dr. Michael Gervais and co-host Jeff Byers, former NFL player and Co-Founder & CEO of Momentous, are back for another Ask Me Anything, tackling questions from the Finding Mastery community on identity transitions, the search for purpose, what to do when life feels like autopilot, and what our heroes and idols actually reveal about who we are.

Andrew Whitworth, Super Bowl champion, four-time Pro Bowler, and one of the most respected leaders in NFL history, joins Dr. Michael Gervais to share the unexpected superpower behind 16 elite seasons: empathy. This is a conversation about mastering yourself first, and what it actually takes to lead, perform, and stay whole at the very top.

Tom Bilyeu, entrepreneur, co-founder of Quest Nutrition, and founder of Impact Theory, joins Dr. Michael Gervais to challenge the assumptions most people carry about money, power, and the systems quietly shaping their financial lives, and to make the case that understanding the rules of the game is the first step to playing it on your own terms.

Dr. Laurie Santos, cognitive scientist, Yale professor, and host of The Happiness Lab, joins Dr. Michael Gervais to unpack why we're so bad at predicting what will make us happy, and what the science says we should actually do differently.
