If you have ever made a goal that would have a significant positive impact on your life, then failed to meet that goal, you need to listen carefully to this episode.

In this episode, John takes on goal-setting culture, and how, ONCE AGAIN it debilitates those who are in the most desperate need for change and transformation.

Topics include:

  • Why the arbitrary nature much goal-setting is tripping people up
  • How goals mask our true motivations
  • How goals distance us from key sources of life
  • Why goal-setting psychologically disposes many people to anxiety and depression
  • Why the desperation with which we pursue a goal has an inverse relationship to our success
  • How a common cognitive function biases us against pursuing our goals
  • Why goals don't actually exist and what this means for how we orient our lives going forward
