Chapters

Mo Gawdat introduces the concept of TONN (Trauma, Obsessions, Nuisances, and Noise) as the sources of stress. He explains that while trauma can be impactful, it's the accumulation of obsessions, nuisances, and noise that truly breaks us. He encourages listeners to take inventory of their stressors and limit those that are not beneficial.
  • Stressors categorized as TONN: Trauma, Obsessions, Nuisances, and Noise.
  • Trauma affects many, but most recover quickly.
  • Obsessions and nuisances, especially the latter, contribute significantly to daily stress.
  • We can control and limit many nuisances in our lives.

Shownotes Transcript

In this moment, entrepreneur and best selling author, Mohammad "Mo" Gawdat, discusses the root cause of stress in your life. Mo says that it is not major traumatic events that break people, instead it is the much smaller damage that build ups over time and results from the script that you tell yourself. He believes that many of the stressors of your life can easily be cut out if you spend time deliberately looking at and reflecting on your life. After this you can then choose to limit what you allow into it, and help break the toxic addiction to stress we all suffer from in the modern world.
