So, it probably comes as no surprise that we cover gigantic themes in this chapter such as how to find leanness in an era of fat, how to touch on bigger life questions without being prescriptive, how to shift from a fixed to a growth mindset, and how everything in the world is endless … except attention and life. With that, let's head to the upper west side of New York City to visit the Good Life Project's headquarters and sit down with the incredible Jonathan Fields. Welcome to Chapter 24. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How can we find leanness in an era of fat? How can enforcing creative restraints help people produce better work? What's more important: the conquest or the journey? Which book should every aspiring writer read? How can a short story paint a very elaborate and moving picture in so few words? How should we deal with our kids experiencing failure? What's the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset? How can we navigate changes that don't seem like we're moving 'forward,' such as the transition from teacher to student, doctor to patient, spouse to divorcee? Leave us a voicemail!
