About this episode
The knee-jerk way to set expectations is to anchor to what everyone else has right now. But imagine the tragedy of there being unbelievable progress throughout your life and you enjoy none of it because you expected all of it.
This episode is all about expectations, and how the key to happiness in so many things in life is to aim low.
