Chris Walker - Anti Guru Guru Show
1,868 episodes - English - Latest episode: 17 days ago -Welcome back to "The Anti-Guru Guru Show," where we cut through the fluff and get real about the stuff that matters. Today, I’m diving into the hilarious and often misguided world of self-help and personal development. Specifically, I want to take a swipe at the notion that just because you’ve listened to a podcast or read a book, you can instantly transform into a world-class leader, lover, or even a happy and healthy person. Spoiler alert: you can't. So. thanks for tuning in to "The Anti-Guru Guru Show." If you enjoy this post, share it with a friend who needs a reality check. Remember, keep it real, keep it messy, and keep practising. See you soon!
