When I was in one of the darkest places of my life, and trying to figure out a way to focus, I read Tom’s book, and it changed my life instantly. Then, I gave it to one of my staff who was always freaking out, and the next day she came in and thanked me for changing her life. And so the cycle continued.
In this interview, you’ll hear me and Tom flesh out the following:
- How to become an expert on focus and discipline
- What is wrong with the way we see and approach goals
- The difference between actively practicing and passively learning
- What we should be focusing on when we have a goal of losing weight
- How to take stress out of losing weight (and any other goal)
- How to remove judgement from your failures
- How the concept of Beginner’s Mind can change your life
- What it means to approach a goal with a view that you will never be done
