Power and Pleasure Shana James
Do you blame your work or family for getting in the way of what has you feel alive?
What if your perspective on the world — instead of the world itself — was the thing truly holding you back?
And what do power and pleasure have to do with us becoming grumpy old men?
Shana James has coached many guys over the years through the intersection between owning our power and having the experiences we most want. She’s got a new book called Power and Pleasure: A Man’s Guide to Becoming a More Confident and Satisfied Lover and Leader. Today we talk about how to shift our mindset from frustration into greater aliveness and fun.
In this interview:
- What is pleasure?
- Is power about dominance?
- Being responsible vs having fun
- “What do I actually enjoy?”
- Why all of us have a bit of “nice guy syndrome”
- Seeing frustration as information
Plus:
- Feeling guilty about wanting more pleasure
- What’s your role in your level of unhappiness?
- Waiting for someone to tell you what to do
- Are you a bad husband or father if you want time for yourself?
- Are you afraid to bring what you want to your partner for fear it’ll cause a problem?
