Woice with Warikoo Podcast

In this episode I wanted to share 25 life hacks that I personally use. People I've told to use these so far have told me that they really work.

I wanted to try to answer a question I get asked pretty often and that is: when do I give up? How do we know when it's time to let go and try something new. How do you know if what you're doing is fake persistence or irrational optimism and you should give up and do something else.

I wanted to talk about something we are told we should all have our lives: ambition. While there's a lot of talk about it, but we don't truly understand it or how it works through the ages. It's often pegged to something false or not very foundational.

A few weeks ago, on my newsletter, I asked people when was the last time they cried, with the option of giving the reason. Looking at the responses gives us a lot of perspective. We think we are the only ones crying when everyone else is sorted, we are not.

There's something fascinating about childhood. Almost everyone remembers their childhood with a certain sense of nostalgia, euphoria, and even regret. What about childhood is so captivating?

No matter how good we are at something, we will bump into somebody who does not agree with us. Maybe they won't agree with our choice, suggestions, ways of working or something else and unfortunately we are not trained well on how to handle disagreements. So if someone disagrees with us, our brain tries to tell us that we are in danger and hence we become defensive. But, we must reflect why and wh...

 Quite often we find ourselves in difficult circumstances, variety of difficult circumstances. Not feeling worthy of love by your loved ones, self esteem going down the hill every time we look at a social media post or being torn in what subjects to choose. We do everything in our power to succeed at our jobs, but still we feel the sense of lacking. Or maybe not able to crack any interview. Instea...

Whenever you are faced with tough decisions to make in life, you should always remind yourself of what is going to be worst case scenario. It sounds like a defeatist approach but, on the contrary, it really works. Why? Because once you know what's the worst could happen to you, any scenario you deal with, is going to be better than what you had imagined. You are training your mind to be prepared f...

We all at one point struggle finding our purpose, goal or passion in life. But you don't find your Passion, you grow your passion. So, your passion is liking something you do, doing it constantly over the period of time and enjoying it while doing. You don't find passion hidden in the corners but the things you have stayed and nurtured over the time.  Quitting your job or studies to find your pass...

That one failed exam or missed promotion or not being able to buy the latest car right now isn’t the end of the world. It is natural to feel a sense of disappointment when you’ve let those around you and yourself down… but remember, your life is not over. That path which you couldn’t walk wasn’t the only way to get to your destination. The material possessions you covet are means and not the desti...

Everything we do in our lives, is going to have consequences, whether with a big or small impact. That means for our every action, there are going to be consequences and we need to be prepared. Most of us our guilty of focusing on firstly order consequence and not thinking ahead. To take the wisest decisions in our lives, the surest way is to go down to at least 5 orders of consequence for the dec...

All of us at some point of time receive hatred, whether in person or on the internet. In a way, the people that hate us help us. All  we have to do is dismiss the hate, because it saves us a lot of energy and time. That energy can be used in a lot of productive ways.

The Top 20 Lies we have been told all our lives. When the difficult questions about life were brought up, nobody had the answers and so the world came up with these rules or lies. And suddenly there was a right and wrong way of doing things, where the right ways were celebrated and the wrong ways became a taboo. My answer to all of this is: Don't allow the world to feed you these lies.

The top three questions that i receive in DMs, emails and messages: "I hate my job and I can't leave it"; "I hate what I am studying"; "I am in a toxic relationship and I can't get out". My response is the same: what is stopping you?

I wanted to narrate a story that left a huge impression on me and taught me an important lesson. We often accept things to be true when we hear it from someone we believe. This creates an important responsibility.

This episode is an audio version of a Twitter thread I wrote with ten ninety day challenges for your mind, your body and soul. These will help you become better in all aspects of your life. 

When I speak to people in their twenties, they tell me about the things they want to do, but they also tell me how they struggle to go about doing them. This both excites me and disappoints me. This is because in the world we live in now, there are endless opportunities and we're still asking about how to find them.

Today I wanted to discuss overthinking. We all tend to overthink and it's always about the things that could go bad. We are hard-wired to think about what could go wrong. Our mind focuses on possibilities, not probabilities. We need to think about probability to solve this problem.

There's a regularly occurring theme in conversations I have and that is relationships with parents. Particularly in Indian culture, parents are regarded as close to God. It's a widely held belief that they cannot be wrong. This ingrained ideology is incorrect. Today, I would like to talk about why.

I'm going to take you all the way back to the year 2003. I was a student in the US in the third semester of my masters program. My professor set an assignment that he was convinced that no one would be able to solve. Here's how I solved this seemingly impossible problem with an email.

I wanted to talk about meditation and dispel some myths. The biggest one of these is that meditation allows you to control your emotions. After practicing and reading a lot about meditation, I recognise that this is wrong.

Every single interaction we have in world has an impact on us. I'm often asked what differentiates a good relationship from a bad one. For better or worse, our relationship with our parents has a huge effect on us. In our culture we are accustomed to revering our parents. Sometimes we forget that they are people too and can be wrong.

We often hear the phrase "scratch your own itch". It's often heard in entrepreneurial circles, and means that If you have a have problem, you think a product or company could solve, then you should start it yourself. In this episode, I tell you how this phrase is actually harmful.

I do a weekly AMA or ask me anything on Instagram and one of the questions I was asked was how to get rich before 30. In this episode, I give you three ways to actually become wealthy before the age of 30.

For the longest time, I wanted to be a space scientist. Enrolled in a PhD program in the US, I was well on my way to achieving this at 22, I realised that this was not what I wanted. The pressure of expectation was weighing down on me. At 23 I was unhappy with what I was doing and I had no idea what I wanted. Today, I want share something with those who might feel the same way.
