SELF DEVELOPMENT
Here’s what motivated us most—and can inspire you too.
WINNER: Start Here
Performed by Mel Robbins
As we fight off a historic pandemic, the pervading self-care trend is: cut yourself some slack. Sure, Shakespeare may have written Macbeth during the plague, but he probably didn’t have to homeschool kids at the same time. Attention-span deficits coupled with the inability to do little more than merely exist meant self dev had to not ask a lot of us or push us to BE OUR ABSOLUTE BEST. Bonus if it's consumable in brief pockets of time. So, Mel Robbins's new podcast rises to the top. Comprising bite-sized, highly focused ''pep talks'' on topics such as family, career, and anxiety, it's easy to dip in, grab the ones most relevant to you, and get on with your life.

Story5 out of 5 stars 9,326
Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.
