163. How to move through depression and avoid self-deception to reach your highest potential with Chris Dufey

If you were to see our guest, Chris Dufey, in real life he is a super fit, handsome guy, has a beautiful family, great success in his career, greets everyone with his huge smile and Aussie accent…you would never guess right off the bat that he has dealt with depression and suicidal thoughts. You would never guess that at times in his life he has really struggled in the self love department. But it’s real.

If you have ever experienced depression or self-destructive thoughts (who hasn't?) this episode is for you!

We discuss a lot of his journey today, how he navigated self-limiting sometimes debilitating thoughts, depression, suicide ideation and how he moved through it to become the walking success story that he is: family man, fitness expert, entrepreneur, psychonaut, and personal evolution enthusiast.

We also get into a topic for all the philosophers out there: is it better to fake it til you make it, or do we need to feel something genuinely (like self love) before it becomes a reality for us? Do thoughts happen to us or do we choose our thoughts?
