In this episode, Thiago discusses the importance of setting goals for English learning and then focusing on the systems to achieve those goals. He introduces the book 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear, which emphasizes the power of building better habits and getting rid of bad habits. Thiago reads a portion of chapter one of the book, highlighting the distinction between goals and systems. He explains that winners and losers have the same goals, achieving a goal is only a momentary change, goals restrict happiness, and goals are at odds with long-term progress. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement and commitment to the process.
