Through examples from the Wright brothers to Richard Branson, we examine how the fiercest competition exists for "realistic" goals, making them paradoxically harder to attain. Discover the three psychological barriers that keep most people locked in mediocrity, why your brain releases more dopamine for audacious targets, and how aiming unreasonably high creates an asymmetric bet with massive upside. Even if you fall short of your unreasonable goal, you'll still go further than those who played it safe.➡️ Connect With Me https://instagram.com/scottdclarySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
