3 ways to stay dedicated to what is important in life, in a noisy world (and with a noisy mind).
We are immersed in infinite options and distractions of alluring things we could be doing. Naturally we often find ourselves wanting to do all the things.
A holiday in the Mediterranean, surfing in Bali or visiting pyramids - Why choose?
Pursuing a career in finance, running a YouTube about cars, or becoming a teacher - Frustrating huh...
Leaning into philosophy and the inner workings of our psychology we explore three lessons and mental models to help us calm our frenetic obsessions and build peace. We'll learn how to build an ability to focus on what matters, ignore passing surface desires and invest deeply in ourselves
