74 — How a Quest Can Help You Grow Menta...

Amy Morin
About this episode

A quest is different from a goal. But a quest doesn't need to be lifelong. Instead, you could create lots of short, fun quests that add value to your life.

Best-selling author James Altucher has created lots of quests for himself — from becoming a standup comedian to trying to buy a foreign country. Some of the things he talks about today are how to develop a fun quest, what you'll gain from it, and how your adventure can help you grow mentally stronger.
