Why are so many young people today feeling lost, anxious, or simply... unhappy? This isn’t just a Western phenomenon—it’s a growing reality in India too. In this video, I reflect on insights from Arthur Brooks’s powerful article and blend them with ideas from Charlie Munger, personal observations, and the quiet struggles so many face in today’s hyper-connected world. This is not a motivational speech. It’s a thoughtful conversation about what truly matters, and how we might reclaim it, not by chasing happiness, but by walking away from what’s quietly stealing it. If you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or just unsure of what this life is really about...this one's for you.

We all carry regrets. Some are small. Some sting for years. In this video, I share the story of a decision I made in 2018 — buying an apartment that, in hindsight, was a financial mistake. But more than the numbers, this story is about something deeper: how we deal with choices that didn’t work out… and how regret, when seen differently, can become one of our greatest teachers. If you’ve ever looked back at a job you didn’t take, an investment that went wrong, or a relationship you held on to too long — this is for you. Because the truth is: we can't escape regret. But we can choose what we do with it.

Why do people who know the least often seem the most confident? In this video, we explore the Dunning-Kruger Effect — a psychological bias that causes people with limited knowledge to overestimate their competence, while those with true expertise often doubt themselves. It’s a cognitive trap that shows up everywhere — in workplaces, classrooms, conversations, and especially in investing.

Thinking of quitting your job to follow your passion or become financially free? I’ve been there. But before you take the leap, there are 5 questions I asked myself — questions that shaped everything that came next.

We don’t talk enough about what happens when we lend money to people we love...and they don’t return it. It’s awkward. It’s painful. And it can quietly break relationships.

Most investors don’t fail because they lack knowledge. They fail because they lose something far more important than money—their clarity, their patience, their sense of self. In this video, we go deeper than stock picks and market cycles. We explore the inner game of investing—the psychological and emotional discipline that separates the calm from the chaotic, the grounded from the reactive. Inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s timeless line—“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…”—this is a reflection on what truly builds long-term success in markets. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right and still questioning yourself... if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by noise or disconnected from your strategy, this message is for you. 💬 Let me know in the comments: What’s been your biggest inner challenge as an investor?

You’ve read the books. Built the habits. Optimized your mornings. And still, a voice inside you whispers—“Why does it still feel like something’s missing?” In this video for #TheInnerGame podcast, I explore the dark side of the self-improvement and self-help culture that no one talks about. The hidden pressure to constantly upgrade, fix, and optimize ourselves in the name of “growth” can leave us exhausted, anxious, and disconnected from who we truly are. Now, this isn’t a rejection of growth, but a return to a gentler, more human way of living. A reminder that your worth isn’t measured by your productivity. That sometimes, doing less is the real path to becoming more. If you’ve ever felt burnt out by the endless chase to be better, this video is for you. 💬 Let me know in the comments: Have you ever felt stuck in the self-improvement loop? 🙏 If this message resonates, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who might need to hear it.

Staying the course sounds simple — until the market crashes. In this episode of #TheInnerGame podcast, I dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster of long-term investing. When volatility hits and portfolios bleed red, most people run for the exits. But seasoned investors know that turbulence is not a glitch — it’s the system. It’s the price you pay for long-term rewards. This is not a video about stock tips or market predictions. It’s a conversation about resilience. About training your mind to endure uncertainty. About learning to sit still when every part of you wants to run. I explore: – Why volatility is not risk, but opportunity – How to reframe fear when markets turn red – Why doing nothing is sometimes the most powerful action – The emotional cost of compounding (that no one talks about) – What “staying the course” really looks like during downturns 📌 If you’re feeling anxious about your investments right now, this episode is for you.
