Discard Your Anxiety Today | Chris Guillebeau on The Power of Choosing Less
In Meditations, Marcus Aurelius says, “Today I escaped from anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions—not outside.” Today, bestselling author Chris Guillebeau joins Ryan to talk about the overwhelming anxiety that many experience when it comes to modern decision-making, time management, and ambition. They talk about the pressure of choosing the “right” next move, time blindness vs. time anxiety, strategies for managing calendar clutter, how Memento mori can be a tool for finding clarity and purpose, and more. Chris Guillebeau is the New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup, Side Hustle, and The Happiness of Pursuit, which have sold over one million copies worldwide. During a lifetime of self-employment that included a four-year commitment as a volunteer executive in West Africa, he visited every country in the world (193 in total) before his thirty-fifth birthday. In his latest book, Time Anxiety: The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live, Chris offers a bold path for redefining our relationship with the clock.Follow Chris on Instagram @193Countries and on X @chrisguillebeau.
