1570 | Bad at Goals

Episode 1577 Published 1 week ago
Description

In this episode, Carl explores a fundamental problem with planning: we’re not very good at knowing what we actually want. Through a conversation with a friend who's tracked his goals for 25 years, Carl reflects on how often our imagined futures change, and why that doesn’t mean we should stop setting goals. It’s an exploration of what goals can give us, even when we’re almost certainly wrong about where we’re headed.
