Embracing Contentment and Letting Go of Regrets
The chapter delves into the importance of being content with one's progress and avoiding self-limiting labels, while also exploring the concept of regret and the value of forgiveness and new beginnings.
During COVID, Marshall Goldsmith spent several hours every weekend listening to successful people speak about their lives. From these sessions, he learned that even the highest achievers need help finding fulfillment. So, he wrote The Earned Life to address this need, drawing inspiration from Buddhism and his experience as an executive coach. In this episode, Marshall shares practical advice and exercises to help overachievers find personal fulfillment and live without regret.
