Sample Book Insights:
#1 Worthy is a big word that can feel a little earnest. It’s about whether your goal is worthy enough for you to commit to it. Thrilling, important, and daunting are the primary colors that allow you to paint the picture of your ambition.
#2 Thrilling is a countermeasure against a sense of obligation. It is a sense of pride and purpose that makes you want to take on a project. It is cool, fun, and bold. It speaks to your values and lights up your receptors.
#3 Important is a countermeasure against selfishness. It is a project or a goal that is more than just self-satisfaction or self-gratification, but also has greater stakes than your life.
#4 Daunting is a countermeasure against the comfort zone. It helps you banish those influences that encourage you to grind it out, play it safe, and keep it small. It invites you back to the learning edge.
