Psychologist Ari Tuckman uncovers the emotional roadblocks behind productivity, from shame to decision paralysis. Discover how to rethink prioritization and tap into meaningful motivation. A must-listen for anyone who wants to work smarter, not just harder.

• How to figure out what’s really getting in the way when you’re stuck
• What it means to define a problem clearly before jumping to solutions
