Brad Stulberg, bestselling author of the books 'The Passion Paradox' and 'Peak Performance,' joins Venrock partner Bob Kocher to discuss his newest book, 'The Practice of Groundedness.' Stulberg offers a healthier, more sustainable model for success and dives into what groundedness means to him – a sense of feeling solid, stable, and whole; in a way that doesn't eliminate ambition. Stulberg highlights the value of being present and how his views on well-being and performance have evolved. Kocher and Stulberg also discuss the importance of active reading, how grit only works if you have the right fit, and how wisdom impacts peak performance in different disciplines.
