About this episode

In this episode, Shane Parrish explains how we can learn to think more clearly and make better decisions that lead to better outcomes. He explores the power of the stories that we tell ourselves and the choices we make based on those stories. Shane highlights how ordinary moments can lead to disastrous outcomes if we don’t pause and reflect on our decisions. By shifting our focus from proving ourselves right to prioritizing the best outcome, we can overcome blind spots and cultivate more effective decision-making skills.

  • Gain a fresh perspective on personal growth and unleash your full potential
  • Unlock the power of adopting the persona of someone you admire and watch your life transform
  • Build your own personal board of directors and tap into their wisdom for better decision-making
  • Develop self-accountability and set higher standards in all areas of your life for greater success
  • Overcome blind spots and make better decisions by shifting your perspective and gaining a deeper understanding of yourself
