Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement

Die With Zero Regrets - Stoic ideas to make the most of your life


Listen Later

What if “enough” wasn’t a number — but a moment?

This conversation explores the quiet art of leaving nothing essential undone. We talk about the trap of “more” — more savings, more time, more planning — and how it steals the urgency that makes life vivid.

To die with zero regrets isn’t to die empty; it’s to die complete. Like an artist who finishes a painting not because it’s perfect, but because it says what it needed to say. We explore how generosity, timing, and intention turn ordinary years into extraordinary ones. It’s not about consuming your wealth — it’s about converting it into meaning.

Takeaways:

  • Treat time as your most valuable currency.

  • Design your life around moments that matter.

  • Give forward — not backward.
