Introduction

Today we're going to talk about how to stop living life on autopilot. In my psychiatry practice, I would get tons of patients who would come in with essentially this complaint. And so it seemed like there were almost two groups of people. There's one group that sort of thinks about the future and acknowledges that moving towards the future is going to require intention and direction and effort. The other group of people just lives life reactively. If something happens to them, they can respond to it. But they can't seem to find motivation discipline or willpower to actually craft a life with direction.
