Summary

Why is it that we can have a million visions, dreams and goals for how we want our life to be, but we can't seem to execute any of them? Is it laziness? Lack of discipline? Or fear? In today's episode, we break down the analysis paralysis that comes with wanting to do everything, and instead doing nothing at all. Our discussion includes:  The three types of fear keeping us stuck The most famous study on decision making!  The psychology of regret How to choose what path to follow first Dealing with the judgement of others And so much more!
