In this video, Alex Hormozi argues that the concept of self-care is nonsense and that people should stop feeling guilty for not practicing it.

He believes that the idea of self-care is a projection of other people's self-hatred and that instead of focusing on self-care, people should focus on finding ways to enjoy their lives and stop hating what they do every day. Hormozi encourages viewers to live their lives on their own terms and not listen to anyone else's rules or projections.

He concludes by reminding viewers that they have survived difficult times in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

  • Self-care is nonsense and people should run the other way from anyone who tells them otherwise.
  • People should focus on finding ways to enjoy their lives instead of feeling guilty for not practicing self-care.
  • If you don't like your life every day, it would be better to flip the ratio and start thinking about what you can do in your actual life to stop hating it so much that you need an escape from it.
