Show Notes
In this "Lessons" episode, we explore why unreasonable goals are actually easier to achieve than realistic ones. Through examples from the Wright brothers to Richard Branson, we examine how the fiercest competition exists for "realistic" goals, making them paradoxically harder to attain. Discover the three psychological barriers that keep most people locked in mediocrity, why your brain releases more dopamine for audacious targets, and how aiming unreasonably high creates an asymmetric bet with massive upside. Even if you fall short of your unreasonable goal, you'll still go further than those who played it safe.
