Listen to Nova chat with Dr. Christian Brillinger, discussing how to get to

fun and easy. Dr. Billinger has a PhD in philosophy and is a quantum

mechanics expert, CMO, out-of-the-box doer and thinker.

Dr. Brillinger writes his to-do list down daily – but has created a process

to better parse out what top items solve the most of his given problems.

If you solve 60—70% of your main problems every day – rather than

working on the less important ones - you can get yourself off the

hamster wheel.

With insight from that – Dr. Brillinger realized he doesn’t need to carry

the burden of the world on his shoulders.

You can contribute to the world without doing so all the time. But time to

focus on fun is good and healthy for our lives.

Nova and Dr. Brillinger explore taking the perspective of framing out

goals and tasks from what we love to do and what comes easy to us.

Truly helping ourselves helps us to help the world. Easy is very

individual. Easy for you might not be easy for someone else – and fun

for you is tied to this, too. “Be good at what’s easy. Because – why not?”

“When you think of easy – what’s the first picture that comes to your

mind?” – Dr. Brillinger
