Desire is social, contagious, and malleable. Why do we unconsciously imitate the desires of others—and how do our "mimetic desires" shape our values and affect the way we live? Luke Burgis, author of Wanting, suggests that interrogating the source of your desires can help you achieve more and lead instead of follow. Luke and Andrew talk about seeking out alternate models of desire outside your immediate bubble, the relationship between desire and entrepreneurship, and how to break free of mimetic desire.
