Description

Why is it that most of our decisions and goals often come to naught? That is a complex question that takes us straight to fundamental issues of human nature and agency. In this episode, I offer a crack at this conundrum by focusing on two essential realities connected to transformational aspirations: affective forecasting and the plateau of latent potential (James Clear). Personally, I cannot overestimate the role these two aspects play in the pursuit of the art of living.
