Hala Taha

So I'd love to learn how you pulled yourself out of it.

Was it the writing of this book that really helped you figure it out?

Or how did you get yourself out of that?

Or is it something that you never get out of?

I love that.

That's so interesting.

And like you said, you were familiar with doing research already from your previous books and then also your previous career.

So what kind of research did you do for this groundedness book to uncover those six principles?

Because groundedness turns out it's not really new.

There's a lot of like ancient history and traditions that you researched as well.

I love that.

And it's really full of like amazing material.

And I really enjoyed reading this book.

So let's get into some of the key phrases that you talk about in this book and some definitions.

So you talk about heroic individualism and you say it leads to unhappiness and burnout.

And it is perpetuated by modern culture that relentlessly says you need to be better, feel better, think more positively, have more and optimize your life.

I'll confess that Young and Profiting podcast talks a lot about that kind of stuff.

So talk to us about heroic individualism and what's wrong with that.

Yeah, fam, you just realized your business needs to hire somebody yesterday.

How do you find great candidates fast?
