Deep Questions with Cal Newport

IN-DEPTH: Greatness vs. Contentment (w/ Kendra Adachi)


Listen Later

This IN-DEPTH is brought to you by Defender

In this episode of IN-DEPTH, Cal welcomes the bestselling author Kendra Adachi to talk about her new book, THE PLAN, which introduces the innovative idea of “compassionate time management.” Kendra and Cal discuss how to move beyond the forever pursuit of “greatness” to instead seek satisfaction in your current life; the ways in which time management and productivity writing ignores the specific concerns of women; and why flexibility and pivoting are more important skills than precise planning.
