Stop Trying to "Fix" Yourself. The Self-Help Industry is Broken.
You've been sold a lie: that you're not productive enough, not disciplined enough, just... not enough. So you consume more content, buy more courses, and feel more guilty.
What if the problem isn't you, but the terrible advice you're consuming?
I'm Kaustav. After 14 years in corporate leadership, I saw the data: the "hustle culture" they're selling you is designed to create burnout, not success.
This channel is the antidote to the self-help poison.
We don't add more noise. We help you unsubscribe from the toxic myths so you can:
Ignore the 5 AM gurus.
Embrace strategic laziness.
Build a life that doesn't require a "escape plan."
This isn't motivational content. It's a de-programming session.
If you're tired of being told you need to transform, and you're ready to start building intelligently, you're in the right place.
Hit subscribe. Or don't. It's okay to be normal.

I WISH SOMEONE HAD GIVEN ME THIS SOONER. 🎯
That sinking feeling when a "Got a minute?" text appears... or when a big idea gets met with "But what about the details?" 😮💨
Sound familiar?
For years, I thought these communication fails were just a part of life. Then I created a simple "Cheat Sheet" for myself—just 3 questions—that changed everything.
It helped me:
Stop feeling misunderstood at work.
Prevent unnecessary arguments in my relationships.
Finally feel in control of my conversations.
My new video is live, and I'm breaking down this entire framework for you. This is the missing piece no one taught us.

But before you do... I'm genuinely curious:
What's ONE communication habit that always throws you off? (e.g., vague texts, unsolicited criticism, long voice notes...)
Tell me in the comments below! Let's get real about this.

Learning Postcard from Paris: YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DECIDE HOW YOU WILL LIVE YOUR LIFE...
Paris can be a sensory overload triggering my anxiety about keeping up. But I learned to find pockets of calm amidst the beautiful chaos.
It's a practice, not a destination - You don't need to control the external world to find inner peace!
What do you think?

Hey there growth seekers! 👋
Welcome to my 2025 reading journey! I'm kicking off the year with this amazing stack of books 📚 and I'm SO excited to dive in.
This isn't just about checking books off a list, is it? For me, reading is about the process - slowing down, absorbing new ideas, challenging my perspectives, and constantly learning and growing. It's about valuing the journey of understanding, not just the destination of finishing the book.
In this post/video, I'm sharing my starting stack for 2025 and asking YOU: What books are you planning to read to fuel your growth and learning this year?
Let me know -
- Your top book recommendation for 2025!
- What are you hoping to learn or gain from reading this year?
- Tag a friend who loves to read and learn!
Happy Reading!

DO YOU RELATE TO THIS? -- Is "good" really the goal? Or are you sometimes left wondering... is this all there is? Even when life looks great from the outside, that nagging feeling of "something missing" can creep in.
In my new newsletter, "That Feeling When 'Good' Isn't Quite 'Enough'," I'm getting honest about this feeling of restlessness and the quiet pursuit of something deeper than just ticking off boxes.
Have you ever felt this way? Join the conversation! Read the full newsletter to explore:
