EP 538 Brendon Burchard: High Performance Habits

“We need to think about feelings and how we respond to them as something we have control over.”

I have had a lot of injuries in my life. I’ve even had a physical injury that destroyed my sports career. Honestly, that was nothing compared to some of the emotional injuries I’ve been through.

We all tend to neglect our emotional injuries. We push them off and consider ourselves as wimps or over-emotional. In reality, these injuries are extreme. They need to be cared for like any broken bone.

If we continue to ignore our heartbreaks, that pain will never heal. It will carry with us for years, or even decades.

On this episode of The School of Greatness I’m joined again by the amazing psychologist, Guy Winch, to discuss emotional pain -- whether it’s from a break up, the loss of a loved one, or any other negative feelings that may be holding you back in life.


Dr. Guy Winch, is a licensed psychologist, author, and in-demand keynote speaker whose books have been translated into twenty-four languages.

Dr. Winch's viral TED Talk, Why We All Need to Practice Emotional First Aid, has been viewed over 5 million times and is rated among the top 5 most inspiring talks of all time on TED.com.

His upcoming book, How to Fix a Broken Heart, just came out and that's what we dove into in this episode.

Previously on the show (way back in year 1), we talked about the idea of "emotional first aid" and how important it is for us to learn how to heal our emotional injuries just like we do our physical ones.

However, as Guy pointed out, heartbreak is a special kind of emotional pain and there are certain behaviors that support us in healing from this (and many that don't.)

Learn how to understand yourself and your friends in heartbreak, and heal the healthy way, on Episode 601.

Master Your Heart and Mind with Robin Sharma

As the father of two children, I’ve found it immensely helpful to see my role as not only one of a parent, but also as a developer, shaper and influencer of these two bright lights of my life.

I’m getting a ton of requests to do a version of my new book The 5AM Club for youth.

Well, I have something even better for you if you’re a parent who wants to help your children rise before the sun to run The 20/20/20 Formula so they fully express their gifts + talents. 

I did a super cool interview with UK-based influencer Mimi Bouchard. She’s pretty famous among the 15-30 group and I wanted to send along the podcast episode right away as it is LOADED with awesome value.

My encouragement is to play it after a family meal so you all learn the insights and methods as a tight and loving unit.
