Our results and reality are created by our decisions. But our decisions are directed by our desires. So by better understanding and interrogating our desires, we can improve the quality of our lives.

In this episode, Terry chats with Jonathan Bi. Jonathan is one of the world's preeminent experts on Renee Girard’s theory of mimetic desire. This conversation brings a more practical, real-world understanding of this idea and how we can use it to more consciously pursue a rich and meaningful life through our life choices.

Also in this episode:

  • A fundamental, first principles explanation of where our wants come from
  • How to identify pursuits of ā€˜prestige’ that leave us unsatisfied
  • How to use mimetic desire to amplify achievement
