248: A Student of Love with Humble the Poet

Canadian-born artist, rapper, spoken-word poet, and international best-selling author, Humble the Poet aka Kanwer Singh, joins Chelsea 9 minutes in to talk in depth about the most expensive book he’s ever written, his latest, How to Be Love(d): Simple Truths for Going Easier on Yourself, Embracing Imperfection & Loving Your Way to a Better Life. 

Leaving no stone unturned, Humble shares his notes from the trenches and leaves the key behind so we, too, can be a source of love and learn how to break free from the fences within.

Topics discussed: performative humbleness versus quiet confidence, living beyond the binary mindset, the trap of likability, healing the inner child, being rooted in empathy, opting out of the fast food version of love, chasing pleasure to medicate a lack of peace, the mind of a fuck boy, in favor of women being easy to get and difficult to keep, performative sex versus selfish sex, prioritizing an exclusive relationship with a therapist, gratitude versus guilt, anxiety is the messenger, cheating on your partner with your partner, social media isn’t a friend to love, and how to unlock pathways to authentic intimacy and self-advancement.
