But if you enjoy the journey, you may enjoy the destination. Brad discusses the importance of enjoying our journey in order to enjoy the end result.As much as social media holds an important role in our lives, we have to understand that not all the things we see there are true.Brad talks about how we are consumed by the unrealistic nature of social media. The front-stage self is the personality we show to the world. The "backstage self" is who we truly are. If we give too much space between these two personalities, we are welcoming cognitive dissonance. Brad explains why we need to bridge the gap between our front-stage and backstage selves and why we need to set boundaries for our personal lives on social media.[06.38] Blessing and a curse – Brad shares his opinion about the lack of boundaries between work and life. [14.08] Enjoying the journey – If we do not enjoy doing something, we won't find enjoyment at the end of it.[20.46] Social Media – We discuss how we are consumed by the false happiness of people in electronic media. [26.40] Stoicism and Buddhism – How the teachings of stoicism and Buddhism about being in the present moment which leads us to feel better and do better. [31.50] Behavioral activation – A key component of acceptance and commitment therapy. [38.33] Therapeutic toolkit – The Buddhist way of considering thoughts as thoughts and not taking them seriously. [45.06] Want vs. need – The more we focus on what we want rather than what we need, the better. [01.01.25] Productivity vs. productive activity – Brad explains the difference between productivity and productive activity. [01.10.31] Consistency compounds – Brad shares some practices to be consistent and stay on the path. [01.22.38] Front vs backstage self – Front stage is the performative self, and the backstage is who you really are.

Has the idea of “peak performance” as the general public sees it, run its course? It seems like nowadays, there is much more of a focus & value placed upon rest and recuperation, rather than the unsustainable burnout culture & hustle to get ahead that we've seen for ages.Brad Stulberg is a writer and fellow at the University of Michigan's graduate school of public health. He says his work explores principles of mastery and well-being that transcend capabilities and domains, with a focus on the philosophical and psychological foundations of excellence, and the habits and practices necessary to attain it. He is also the author of the book “The Practice of Groundedness” and coauthor of the books “Peak Performance” and “The Passion Paradox.” Greg and Brad examine the human tendency  to strive for more in this episode, and when that becomes a fault. They also touch on heroic individualism, how being diagnosed with OCD changed his coaching practice, the degradation of community, and brown rice & M&Ms. Episode Quotes:Looking through medical conditions through a philosophical lens.I think that, broadly, if we spent more time in philosophy, there'd be less mental illness because we'd accept that this kind of suffering is a part of the human condition. I think a big cause of particularly depression is people having this false belief that they should never be sad. They should never experience despair. They should never question the meaning of life. When in fact, all the great arts and philosophies do just that. And I think if we can normalize that, then when people find themselves doing it, they wouldn't freak out and be so scared, which is often what causes like an anxious depressive spiral. So yeah, I think that would be good, but I think when someone's kind of in the throes of this, the medical model makes a lot of sense, but I think there's a real risk of getting stuck in the medical model. And I think the path out is to go from medical model to philosophical, thinking about these sorts of things.Defining heroic individualismIt is the constant pursuit of more. It is the false belief that you can achieve or accomplish your way to fulfillment. And it is a phenomenon where the goalpost is always 10 yards down the field. Obsessive checking & workplace performanceSo it used to be that you could get really caught up in how you're performing at work. And maybe 50 years ago, there was one or two promotion cycles a year, and you got really stressed and you either got the promotion or not. Then 20 years ago, there's a whole suite of dashboards that you can check every week. Now, there are real time metrics in just about every single knowledge working job that you can get obsessed with checking. Show Links:Recommended Resources:The Coddling of the American MindAbout | Steven C.

In this episode, Dr. Michael Maddaus interviews Brad Stulberg—an internationally known expert on human performance, wellbeing, and sustainable success. He also authored the bestselling book, The Practice of Groundedness: A Transformative Path to Success That Feeds—Not Crushes—Your Soul. In this provocative and practical conversation, Brad shares a healthier, more sustainable model for success. He explains that at the heart of this model is groundedness—a practice that values presence over rote productivity, accepts that progress is nonlinear, and prioritizes long-term values and fulfillment over short-term gain. “The Resilient Surgeon” is a program from the Society designed to inspire cardiothoracic surgeons to be their best selves, in and out of the OR, using scientifically proven tools and recovery strategies of the world's top performers.

Accept where you are now to get to where you want to be.  Long-term fulfillment is more valuable than short-term gain.  Progress is nonlinear.  Those are valuable principles for runners to follow, but they're relevant to every aspect of your life, as Brad Stulberg explains in his new book, The Practice of Groundedness. Everyone could benefit from practicing groundedness, but Brad's model for success is especially pertinent for driven, type-A people, which describes many runners.  Following his advice will help you become a better runner and person.   “Many people these days…  are feeling a constant coming up short in a sense of never enoughness.  I call this heroic individualism and I define it as a game of one-upmanship against self and others.” So many people feel as though they always need to do more, achieve more. That could mean breaking a goal time in a race or getting a promotion, but whatever it is, it's accompanied by the belief that once you achieve it, you'll feel fulfilled.  The solution to that arrival fallacy, Brad says, is what he calls “groundedness, which is a sense of strength and stability from where you are.” “Groundedness does not eliminate goal setting or striving or even ambition, but what it does is, it situates it so that it's more durable and sturdy because it comes from a place of enoughness.”  Brad points to research that says that “if you play not to lose, you tend not to perform as well as playing to win...  When we are feeling unmoored or frantic or like we need to do something and then we'll finally be content, generally you do that from a place of playing not to lose.”  If instead you feel as though where you are right now is enough but you want to get better, then you start playing to win.  That's more likely to lead to a flow state or being in the zone, and is associated with more sustainable peak performance.  “We often confuse excitement and ease, even though they're very different things.” Excitement, Brad explains, is “feeling that rush in your body of how great it's going to feel if you nail that workout in two weeks, or you PR that race... Ease, on the other hand, is what you get when you're present in the middle of a workout and your sense of self just kind of melts away because you're just flowing into the run.” “Excitement, if you actually feel physiologically what that's like, is a lot closer to anxiety than to happiness, whereas ease is a lot closer to happiness than anxiety.” Excitable runners believe that if they nail a workout, they'll be happy all day, and they're filled with self-doubt if they miss a workout or don't hit their paces.  A more easeful runner, Brad says,  “is someone who can look at the entire process of improvement, of self discovery, of learning about themselves as a person, as an athlete, and kind of settle into the training.”  He offers Eliud Kipchoge as “the ultimate embodiment of ease.” “Yeah, you're faster when you're lighter, but you're slower when you're on the couch with a stress fracture.” Being an easeful, rather than an excitable, runner can mean the difference between long-term success and burnout.  The excitable approach may work for a few training cycles, but it will be unsustainable in the long term. “Those hits of excitement are really powerful.  But if you do those things over and over and over again, you start to feel like crap.” Whether it's in running or other aspects of your life, you need to learn how to not give in to the craving for excitement.  Outside of running, that might mean ignoring the urge to check your phone to see if you've gotten an email or a “like” on your social media.  Instead, work on staying grounded and present in the moment, and not allowing yourself to be distracted by the momentary high of an affirmation online.   That doesn't mean that you have to disconnect entirely.  Brad believes that  “trying to have a goal of just being present always…  is really hard in the 21st century and I think you set yourself up for a lot of failure and then a lot of self judgment if you have such a goal.”  Instead, set aside blocks of time when you want to be fully present, and eventually you'll find that those blocks can get longer and longer.  It may not be easy at first, but it will be worth it.  As Brad says, “No one ever looks back and says a really happy moment was having a viral post. So I think it's really important to remember this.” resources: Brad's website The Practice of Groundedness: A Transformative Path to Success That Feeds--Not Crushes--Your Soul Brad's Twitter Thank you to Insidetracker, Athletic Greens, and Zencastr for sponsoring this episode.
