Why You Suffer and How to Finally Stop | Peter Sage

from The School of Greatness · host Lewis Howes, Peter Sage

You can spend your whole life chasing the thing you think will make you happy, and never once realize you were never built to catch it. That's the trap most high achievers live inside. Run faster. Earn more. Hit the next goal. The rabbit just speeds up. Peter Sage has spent decades coaching people out of that loop. He breaks human consciousness into four levels: To Me, By Me, Through Me, As Me. Most of us are stuck grinding in By Me, mistaking motion for meaning. He's lived the test, not just taught it. Six months in a UK prison, stripped of his business, his marriage, and everything he owned, and he chose to walk in smiling. This conversation will change how you carry whatever you're carrying right now. Because the outer world always follows the inner one. Get your Free PDF and Audiobook Copy of The Inside Track!
