Episode notes

I think it's often hard to distinguish high expectations from motivation. Sometimes low expectations feels like you're giving up or minimizing your potential. You want to have reasonable expectations and take life's results good and bad as they happen with a certain amount of stoicism.

This episode covers a hard topic about money: What you want more than anything is everything you can't have.

Your brain doesn’t want stuff. It doesn’t even want new stuff. It wants to engage in the process and anticipation of getting new stuff.

The change, not the amount, is what matters.

When it comes to happiness and money, it's not about how much you have. It's about the change in how much you have.

Special cameo from Richard Nixon.
