In Search of Mastery

with Michael Gervais

-----------

What does it mean to self actualize? To become your personal best at whatever it is you do?

For most of us, these questions conjure up images such as a finish line, a retirement, an award, or a specific bank balance. Most of us equate mastery with goal achievement, but ironically, those who have achieved real masterly tend to be laser focused on the process and the practice, not the outcome. On this week's podcast, you'll meet a high performance psychologist who shares his mental model for traversing this path of personal greatness.

Listen & Learn:

  • How purpose, principles and vision can guide you
  • Why fulfilled lives usually involve grappling with life's biggest questions
  • Mastery of self vs. mastery of craft
  • The hero trap
