2. Achieving Flow: My Remarks to the UVA Graduating Class of 2022


Listen Later

In this episode I play my remarks to the UVA Graduating Class of 2022. I share a bit of my life story and how I've learned to use ICU physiology as an approach to conceptualizing and solving problems in my life and career.

The core concept is that Flow is akin to making progress.
- Flow  depends on two variables: Pressure and Resistance.
- Mathematically, Flow is equal to Pressure / Resistance.
- Meaningful impact requires having the right amount of pressure and resistance.
