Life rarely unfolds according to plan. A relationship implodes. A move or job change doesn't work out. Or you simply fail in a goal you've set for yourself.My guest has spent almost two decades researching and field-testing how to get back on track when smaller slip-ups and larger upheavals knock you off course. His name is Steve Kamb, and he's the founder of Nerd Fitness and the author of <a href="https://amzn.to/4dTBbCb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How to Try Again: An Approachable Guide to Navigating Chaos and Making Change THAT STICKS</a>. Today on the show, Steve shares practical principles for dealing with life's frustrating and demoralizing setbacks. We discuss why sometimes the best move is to pause rather than push harder, how to accept reality without resigning yourself to it, why treating change as an experiment can help you beat paralysis and take action, why you should treat consistency with your goals the way you do showering, and more.Resources Related to the Podcast<ul><li>Steve's previous appearances on the AoM podcast:</li><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/health-fitness/fitness/the-art-of-manliness-podcast-42-level-up-your-life-with-nerd-fitness-steve-kamb/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode #42: Level Up Your Life With Nerd Fitness & Steve Kamb</a></li><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/health-fitness/fitness/podcast-170-level-up-your-life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode #170: Level Up Your Life</a></li><li>Steve's AoM guest posts:</li><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/people/relationships/dont-be-that-guy-the-taxonomy-of-lousy-male-friends/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Don’t Be That Guy: The Taxonomy of Lousy Male Friends</a></li><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/behavior/how-superheroes-movies-and-video-games-taught-me-to-conquer-fear/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How Superheroes, Movies, and Video Games Taught Me to Conquer Fear</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nerdfitness.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nerd Fitness</a></li><li><a href="https://museumoffailure.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Museum of Failure</a></li><li><a href="https://www.dyingbreed.net/p/sunday-firesides-good-times-are-not" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sunday Firesides: Good Times Are Not Around the Corner (And That's Great News!)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.dyingbreed.net/p/sunday-firesides-treat-life-like" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sunday Firesides: Treat Life Like an Experiment</a></li><li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1ChiuzvTurrCFwL1GxxUaW?si=be26df37b96b4234" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">"Lightning Fields" by the Killers</a></li></ul>Connect With Steve Kamb<ul><li><a href="https://stevekamb.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Steve's website</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stevekamb/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Steve on IG</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevekamb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Steve on LinkedIn</a></li><li><a href="https://stevekamb.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Steve on Substack</a></li></ul>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
