Healthy Mind Are You Living Your Dream or Someone Else's? With Bestselling Author Dave Hollis Amy Morin, LCSW, Verywell Mind Editor-in-Chief On today's episode of The Verywell Mind podcast, I talk with Dave Hollis about the struggles he's faced that helped him to realize the importance of setting aside other people's expectations and living his own dream in a way that's true to himself. Dave previously worked as the President of Sales for the film studio at The Walt Disney Company but gave it up when he realized he wasn't living his dream. He has a new book coming out in October called "Built for Courage" where he shares how he is rebuilding his life again after divorce. Why Dave Hollis Is Mentally Strong Dave doesn't claim to have life all figured out, and he doesn't hide his struggles from his readers or his listeners. Instead, he talks openly about the mistakes he's made and what he's learning along the way. It takes mental strength to talk about problems and mistakes. It takes even more mental strength to share your journey as it is unfolding when you aren't sure how things are going to turn out.   You have to do the uncomfortable even when the uncomfortable ends up making other people uncomfortable." — Dave Hollis   What You'll Hear on the Show Some of the lessons Dave learned from going through his hardest year ever Why you should think about how you feel when you're by yourself How to know if you're really living someone else's dream or your own How Dave has learned to embrace uncomfortable emotions Why Dave goes to therapy and what he's learning along the way The life-changing exercise that has helped Dave manage his anxiety Dave makes it clear that some factors outside of his control have impacted his mental health, such as the pandemic.
