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
