Why Willpower Never Actually Changes You | Peter Crone
About this episode
There's one reason your new habits never stick, and it has nothing to do with willpower.
Peter Crone has spent decades coaching PGA Tour golfers, Major League Baseball athletes, and top executives on the subconscious wiring behind their results, and he breaks down why force can override a habit but never an identity.
He explains why most relationships start as attachment and codependency instead of real love, why hatred is a wound you carry inside yourself, and why the story you keep telling about your pain is the thing keeping you stuck in it.
You'll hear why the mind isn't the brain, why you can't heal from the same level of consciousness that created the problem, and why chasing certainty is the exact thing keeping you anxious.
This conversation will change how you see the parts of yourself you've spent your whole life trying to fix.
