When Dr. Benjamin Hardy’s mental health took a serious hit after publishing his first book, it made no sense on paper. He had achieved a lifelong dream by landing a multi-six-figure deal, yet still felt like a failure because he did not make the New York Times bestseller list. That moment revealed how dangerous it is to measure success against a moving target. In this episode of the Mental Wealth Series, Dr. Benjamin shares how the “Gap” and “Gain” framework and future-self thinking can help entrepreneurs measure progress in a healthier, more fulfilling way.
