Episode notes
The discussion delves into striving for excellence, with an example of a high achiever, Tim Beck, who contributed to modern therapy and emphasized the importance of understanding human emotions. The conversation expands on the concept of balance by highlighting that extreme levels of emotions, even happiness, can be detrimental. Despite the caution of not overdoing things, the dialogue emphasizes the importance of striving, akin to continuously building sand castles while being mindful of not veering into perfectionism. The 80% rule, as advocated by Kristen Andrus, encourages avoiding perfectionism to achieve more and enjoy a satisfactory outcome rather than obsessing over perfection.
