Why Success Won’t Make You Happy (And What Will) | (#002) Beyond Success: Psychology & Philosophy for Achievers, with David Tian, Ph.D.
There is a massive, misery-inducing downside of success:
While achievements are great, they aren’t enough to make life meaningful. But most achievers have been tricked into believing the exact opposite. And the more they achieve their wildest goals, the more empty they feel inside.
If you keep grinding without reflecting about why you’re so miserable, you may find yourself ready to call it quits with life—even if you have external success that makes others jealous. In fact, I found myself in this exact situation: I achieved every goal I had as a teenager… but ended up on a ledge on the 57th floor on a skyscraper ready to jump.

Why Your Success Is Screwing Up Your Life (And What to Do About It) | (#001) Beyond Success Podcast: Psychology & Philosophy for Achievers, with David Tian, Ph.D.
If you’re an achiever, whether you notice it or not, you’re on a dangerous path.
Why?

Stop Striving to be an Alpha Male: It’s Sabotaging Your Life | (#157) The Masculine Psychology Podcast with David Tian
Do you ever wish you were more alpha?
It’s a big buzzword thrown around in forums by bitter and resentful men. And if you keep striving to be more alpha, you’ll suffocate your relationships, suppress your emotions, and sabotage your happiness.
Why?
Because the pop culture view of the alpha male couldn’t be further from the truth about how real alphas operate. It’s not about being feared or dominating, it’s about leading with compassion, connection, and empathy.
If you want to be a true alpha and embody real masculinity, you have to stop striving to be an alpha. It’s counterintuitive, but effective.

Forget the Red Pill: Here’s How to Truly Thrive in Your Relationships | (#154) The Masculine Psychology Podcast with David Tian
Perhaps the biggest lie spread by the Red Pill community is how humans are simple slaves to our biology. This is how they rationalize the obviously irrational myth that a woman will leave you as soon as she finds a more attractive, wealthier, or higher-status man.
Not only does this myth corrupt your relationship with women, but it can even corrupt the relationship you have with yourself. The sad truth is falling for the Red Pill lies is a fast way to end up lonely, miserable, and hopeless.
That’s the bad news.
The good news?
Despite how attractive the Red Pill mindset can be to some men, it’s based on blatant lies. And I’ll prove it in this episode.
