We’re revisiting one of our most popular conversations with author and human performance expert Brad Stulberg, exploring what it means to achieve success without compromising your well-being or personal values. 

Brad explains how shifting from a traditional "if-then" mindset to a values-driven approach can help you find fulfillment, avoid burnout, and improve your life. Whether you’re aiming to make a career shift, reduce stress, or rethink your approach to investing, this conversation is packed with insights that will inspire you to find success on your own terms.

Chapters:

00:00 Introduction

05:00 Shifting from Goal-Driven to Values-Driven Success

11:00 How To Identify Your Core Values

20:00 Rest vs. Action to Address Burnout

Takeaways:

• By focusing on values rather than constant achievement, you’ll find deeper satisfaction and avoid the “hedonic treadmill” of always seeking more.
• Identify your core values by envisioning an ideal future self, reflecting on qualities you admire in others, and reconnect with the original motives behind your goals. 
• Grounding success in values reduces stress and improves performance by fostering a state of "relaxed striving."
