About this episode

Ambition isn’t bad - here’s how to harness it without burning out.


There are plenty of people who will tell you that ambition is inherently bad. But without ambition there would be no innovation, no invention, and no progress.


So don’t be misled by people who tell you that ambition is bad or undesirable.


The trick is to learn how to manage your ambition so that it becomes a source of infinite good for you, and for those around you.


If you want to go deeper on how to manage your ambition in a healthy way that produces long-term satisfaction, have a listen to Ep.156: Managing Your Ambition.
