About this episode

Want to stop worrying about what other people think of you? Whether it's people you know IRL or randos on the internet, most of us are constantly battling a case of “FOPO,” AKA the fear of people’s opinions. Dr. Michael Gervais returns to Real Pod to help us learn how to build a stronger connection to our authentic selves with insight from his new book, The First Rule of Mastery, Stop Worrying About What People Think of You. Dr. Mike is a high-performance psychologist who works with celebrities, gold medalists, Fortune 500 CEOs and more, training the mindset skills and practices essential to releasing one's highest potential.

In this episode, Dr. Mike reveals the key to breaking anxious thought patterns, how to increase the quality of your life through presence, and the biological reason behind WHY we care so much about what people think of us. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to stop caring about what others think and gain the confidence to live life aligned with your true self!
