John Allcock is this week’s guest for the Life of Dad After Show.
John Allcock talks with Art Eddy about his book, Forty Things I Wish I’d Told My Kids and fatherhood. In his book, Allcock offers this essential wisdom to parents and children alike, breaking down each lesson into memorable chapters and gives practical, universally-applicable lessons to his readers.
Some of those lessons are…
How to let go of the “I’ll be happy when…” fallacy
How to identify the false narratives that prevent us from achieving our goals
How to drop the mental habits that do not lead to genuine happiness
How to change our thoughts, not control them
How to separate our intrinsic value from our achievements
How to become a student of pain, not a victim of it
