About this episode

Shane Parrish is the founder of Farnam Street and one of the world's most respected voices on decision-making and clear thinking.


In this episode we re-visit with Shane, he introduces the concept of positioning — the small daily choices that put you on easy mode or hard mode before a single big decision is made. He breaks down the four defaults that hijack your thinking (emotion, ego, social pressure, and inertia), explains why fear of success holds people back just as much as fear of failure, and shares the Kissinger test that reveals whether you're truly doing your best work.


If you're tired of making life harder than it needs to be, this one's for you.
