Ep. 789 - Men Struggle With Pride Due to a Significant Fear of Failure - Richard Simmons

Why do men have difficulty being transparent and sharing vulnerable details about their lives? According to Richard Simmons, it comes down to problems associated with pride, which drives men to worry about being seen as a failure by those around them. Richard is a bestselling author and the founder of The Center for Executive Leadership. He has written and spoken extensively on the critical topic of pride and how it intersects primarily with the male psyche. He explains why men especially struggle with pride and humility, and how pride is, quite literally, the driving force behind so many of humanity’s problems, from wars to parenting struggles. Pride and unhealthy comparison are deadly, and make people unhappy. He encourages us to live a humble life.
