The Want-to-Want Principle: A Revolutionary Approach to Desire

What if the key to transformation isn't willpower but a simple shift in how you approach your desires?

By identifying and acting on your "want-to-wants" rather than your immediate impulses, you begin a process that eventually transforms desire itself.For men tired of being driven by impulses they later regret, this episode offers practical freedom through a counterintuitive approach. The path forward isn't suppressing desire but elevating it—allowing your higher wants to govern your choices.Visit sethtroutt.com for more insights on authentic masculinity that orders desires rather than being ordered by them.
