There’s a tension most of us live with:

One part of us wants to build, achieve, and chase the next big goal.

The other just wants to exhale. To feel okay, even when things don’t go our way.

For years, I thought I had to choose—driven or content. But what if the real art of living is learning to hold both?

In this week’s episode of AMI: Augmenting My Intelligence, we dive into the two life skills that shape everything:

🔹 How to get what you want (and why no one taught us this at school)

🔹 How to love your life even when you don’t get what you want

🔹 Why success can feel hollow—and what to do when it does

🔹 The neuroscience of desire, fulfillment, and the “dopamine trap”

🔹 A mindset tool that turns failure into fuel (and you can use it today)

🔹 What it really means to pursue goals with “intention without attachment”

I also open up about my own journey—my addiction to achievement, moments of stillness in a Buddhist center in London, and how I learned to stop being a slave to outcomes.

🎧 Whether you’re building your dream life or navigating its curveballs, this episode is for you.

Thanks for listening to AMI: Augmenting My Intelligence. Where we explore what it means to grow in the age of AI—and how to stay deeply, beautifully human.
