Personal Development

You aren’t "finding yourself." You’re hiding.

Are you actually "finding yourself," or are you just hiding from the responsibility of being a man? In this episode of Sober Psychology, we tear down the "Neverland" fortress of the modern man-child. Psychology calls it Peter Pan Syndrome. Carl Jung called it the Puer Aeternus—the Eternal Boy. I call it the Rot of the Modern Soul. Whether you're struggling with "failure to launch," weaponized incompetence in your relationships, or a dopamine addiction to video games, it's time to kill the boy so the man can live.
