Podcast E6: Goal-Free Living

Episode #6 of the Invisible Solutions podcast is now live.

In this episode we discuss the Performance Paradox (Lens #18 in Invisible Solutions) and Goal-Free Living.

The Performance Paradox is based on the perspective that the more you focus on a goal, the less likely you are to achieve that goal.

This lens is based on an earlier book of mine called, Goal-Free Living. It is not about living without goals, but rather changing your relationship to goals. It is the approach we use to tackle the problem: How can we move forward when the future is uncertain?”

The essence of Goal-Free Living is “meandering with purpose.”
