On June 4, 2025, Shirzad Chamine, author of Positive Intelligence, returned to The Motley Fool’s Rule Breaker Investing podcast to discuss mental fitness and its impact on resilience and creativity. Chamine emphasized the importance of recognizing and managing our internal saboteurs—negative thought patterns that hinder well-being.
Chamine highlighted that more than 49% of pre-med students at a prominent university now require psychological intervention, a significant increase from less than 10% in the past. He attributed the rise in mental health challenges to escalating global changes and stress, suggesting that the need for tools like Positive Intelligence is now greater than ever.
Listeners are encouraged to explore their own saboteurs through a brief assessment on Chamine’s website, which aims to foster healthier relationships by increasing self-awareness.
