The video discusses how being labeled a 'gifted child' can lead to a fear of failure and quitting when faced with difficulty.

The video identifies self-sabotage as a reason for quitting and provides a method to challenge deeply rooted beliefs.

The speaker discusses the 'Doom Spiral' where a single setback can lead to a negative spiral and quitting.
