Radical acceptance and availability as a power twofer

This episode is a radical reframe of what a good life actually is, and how we can all get there. If you feel stuck, it’s gonna unstick you. If you’re struggling with problems that feel insurmountable, this episode will offer solutions you haven’t heard anywhere else. 

I’m talking with Stanford professors Dave Evans and Bill Burnett. Their books have sold millions of copies around the world. They’ve helped us design our lives, design our work, and now they’re back to teach us how to infuse our lives with meaning, purpose and flow. 

We get into all of their expertise, from the workplace to relationships to how to get the most of your one human life in this episode. It’s practical and deeply philosophical. It made me cry both recording it and then again looking back on the edit. 

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• How to use the life design thinking framework to make any decision

• How to stop working on problems you can't solve and find the ones you actually can

• The "reframing ladder" technique to unstick yourself from any life problem

• The five mindsets that turn ordinary moments into a deeply alive life

• How to escape the exhaustion trap without changing your schedule

• Why Maslow got it wrong—and what actually sits at the top of the pyramid
