**Proactive Positioning much before the moment of the decision **
Positioning oneself in a favorable position long before a decision is crucial for handling unforeseen circumstances. Daily habits like sleep, exercise, and healthy eating contribute to emotional resilience. Building a solid foundation in relationships by nurturing them regularly is vital. Investing in relationships is likened to watering grass - regular nurturing prevents conflicts from escalating into crises.
Clay is joined by Shane Parrish to discuss his New York Times bestselling book Clear Thinking – Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results. Many people fall prey to making decisions based on our instincts and our gut feelings. Shane’s book gives you the tools to recognize those moments that reshape how you navigate the critical space between stimulus and response.
Shane Parrish is the founder of the highly-esteemed blog Farnam Street and also the host of The Knowledge Project Podcast, where he focuses on mastering the best of what other people have already figured out. His work has been featured in nearly every major publication, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Forbes.
