Biology of Success: Challenging the Myth of Struggle

Biology of Success: Challenging the Myth of Struggle, Episode 349, April 18, 2025
Embracing True Masculinity and Thriving
Summary
In this episode of Real Men Feel, host Andy Grant speaks with Liam Naden, a speaker, teacher, writer, and researcher who went from millionaire to homeless before discovering how the proper use of the brain can determine success.
Liam discusses his Four-Part Brain Model and Brain Rebalancing, explaining how humans are biologically designed to thrive, not struggle. He shares insights on avoiding common misconceptions like goal-setting and elucidates the importance of eliminating fear to activate the brain's natural thriving state.
Discovering True Strength
Liam Naden challenges conventional notions of masculinity and strength by suggesting that true strength comes from being in tune with who we genuinely are, living a life without fear. This realization, Liam shares, has the potential to change the world when embraced collectively. It's an awakening to the authentic flow of both masculine and feminine energies.
Breaking the Myth of Struggle
Liam explores the misconception deeply ingrained in society that life is meant to be a struggle. Contrary to popular belief, nature is about thriving, and humans are biologically designed to flourish, not languish in problems. The realization that struggling is a uniquely human condition stemming from misuse of our biology can lead to profound life changes.
The Misguided Pursuit of Success
Sharing his journey from riches to homelessness, Liam reveals how his relentless pursuit of success led him to question the typical methods of goal-setting and hard work. Experiencing rock bottom allowed him to release fear and embrace the natural thriving state we are biologically designed for.
Thriving Beyond Mindset
Liam introduces the concept of our brain's two states: the thriving state and the survival state. For many, activating the survival state inhibits the thriving state, causing stress and dissatisfaction. Understanding these brain functions empowers individuals to use this knowledge for a flourishing life.
Removing Fear and Embracing Trust
Fear, according to Liam, is the primary trigger for shifting into the survival state. Our overriding mission should be to eliminate stress, worry, and anxiety by acknowledging and removing these triggers. Embracing a state of trust and belief is key to reconnecting with our biological purpose and the natural flow of life.
Bridging Science and Spirituality
Liam beautifully ties together science and spirituality, emphasizing that our thriving brain is our link to the infinite universe. This connection allows us access to creativity, intuition, and coincidences, aligning with spiritual teachings across cultures.

Conclusion
In a world where men often grapple with the fear of inadequacy, Liam's insights encourage shifts toward a more authentic expression of masculinity. By letting go of fear and embracing who we truly are, both men and women can pave the way for a brighter, more fulfilling existence.
