Brisbane sold out, Melbourne 8th & Sydney 9th November - https://chriswilliamson.live/australia Question: How much should you care about things?

3 MINUTE MONDAY Hi friend, Type A Problems, Type B Problems. I think Type A people have a Type B problem, and Type B people have a Type A problem. Insecure overachievers need to learn how to chill out and relax, and lazy people need to learn how to work harder and be disciplined. Given that you subscribe to me, I’m going to guess you’re probably Type A. Some version of a “walking anxiety disorder harnessed for productivity” as Andrew Wilkinson says. Here’s the thing you may have already...

3 MINUTE MONDAY Hi friend, I’m having a bit of a tough time at the moment. Normal challenges are harder than they should be. Everything is more difficult than usual. My mood and my energy and my resilience are low. I’m anxious and imagining bad outcomes happening everywhere, even though there is no reason to.
