Keep going with your gains. Do them consistently, especially if we don't feel like it. And significant, fundamental, permanent changes can be installed. 

Explore the hero’s journey with author and entrepreneur Brian Johnson (@BrianJohnson). Brian is the founder and CEO of Heroic, a Public Benefit Corporation dedicated to propelling humanity towards a flourishing future. 

"The most latent desire I've always had is how can I live a great life in service to something bigger than myself and help others do that? " - Brian Johnson

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Anti-fragile Confidence: Building unbreakable confidence by keeping commitments to oneself, leveraging challenges to grow stronger rather than breaking. If you lack integrity in your word, trusting yourself is impossible and erodes your confidence. To have trust, you must do what you say in any relationship, whether with yourself or others. 

  • The Hero's Journey: The three phases of the heroic journey are the call to adventure, the facing of challenges, and the return to the ordinary world. Each stage evolves the hero's consciousness. This journey isn't a one-time event but a continuous theme in life—answering the call repeatedly to develop and live a life from the heart in service.

  • 8 Virtues: To live your best life and align with your heroic journey, there are 8 virtues to live by: wisdom, discipline, love, courage, gratitude, hope, curiosity, and zest. These 8 virtues come from ancient philosophy and modern science. 

  • The Ultimate Game: The ultimate game of life is to choose wisely and to be your best self in service to something bigger than yourself. To do this, you need to forge anti-fragile confidence and recognize that the hero's journey is supposed to be complicated.
