(#117) WHY People Do What They Do (& How To Maintain Your Inner Peace When It Triggers You)

Have you ever wondered WHY people do what they do? Or maybe why YOU do what you do? One of my long time mentors, Tony Robbins, has pioneered one of the best ways to explain this exact question. Tony has created something called The 6 Human Needs, which essentially are 6 needs that drive human behavior.

As someone who has been obsessed with studying human behavior for basically my entire life, finding out these human needs completely changed my life. I finally had an answer for all my moments of self-sabotage or little behaviors I would do that I couldn’t explain. In this podcast episode I break down all 6 human needs which are: Certainty, Uncertainty, Significance, Love, Connection, Contribution, and Growth, and share with you exactly how I apply them in my life.
