Episode notes

productivity has seemed to be, get stuff done. The measurement stick of productivity is achieving a lot. A chef in the book who'd had three michellan stars at his restaurant in france for well over a decade said he doesn't even care about your stars any more. For me, i've had to be unproductive before i can be productive. I try to take at least one week every year where i take a silent retreat.

As the author of "Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life," Luke has spent plenty of time and energy researching the power of desire. I absolutely loved getting into the book and wanted to spend some time getting into the nuts and bolts with Luke about why "wanting" has so much power... and what to do with that power.

We unpacked a lot during our discussion – from impostor syndrome to needs and wants becoming one and the same (or appearing to be) to attempting to avoid choosing the wrong things to desire. I learned a lot from this conversation, making it incredibly productive.

I trust you'll learn a lot, too.
