Please, please, please, watch with an open mind.

This video explores the self improvement paradox and how it ruined my life. I debunk the truth behind the self-improvement industry and why it ruined my life. 

Funny enough, my challenge is a self improvement channel. I talk all about self development, but yet, there's two extremes to it. Either it's a journey, and you look for what you want, or you become addicted and part of it.

Discover why constantly seeking ways to become a better version of yourself may actually be self-defeating. I discuss the drawbacks of consuming information without taking real action, and how the pursuit of perfection can leave you feeling dissatisfied and insecure.

But don't worry, this video isn't just about exposing the flaws of self-improvement. I offer an alternative perspective and guide you towards a healthier approach. Learn the importance of self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance in your personal growth journey.

Find out how to strike a balance between seeking new information and applying it to your life, without losing sight of what truly matters to you.

It's time to embrace your imperfections, find joy in the present moment, and create a positive impact in your own life and the lives of others.

WHO AM I?

I’m Matias (pronounced ma-tee-as) 👋, an Economist and Master in Finance. After spending +10 years around “industry experts” from Doctors in Finance & Economics to full-on Finance Professionals, I’ve realized that most money advice is complicated, full of jargon, or just irrelevant. I’ve since made it my mission to help people take control of their finances and their lives by providing easy and actionable tips on personal finance and help them live a happier life.
