Derek Sivers

Happy smart and useful, saying no, making the best of a situation, managing overwhelm, what's enough?

Why my company succeeded when others failed, how limitations help, how I almost shut down my company, and asking yourself if you'd be doing this without sharing.

Negotiability of Rules, Intrinsic Motivation, Happy Smart Useful, Embracing Change, Pace of Life.

Fun conversation about reframing (of course), creativity, empathy, living a full life, and collaborating instead of just talking.

Great conversation around reframing beliefs and limitations.

About my books, who they're for, how I write, my non-distracting technology setup.

Fun conversation about Useful Not True as applied to religion!

Choosing an unconventional path, embracing your weirdness, choosing the harder path to build strength and resilience, experimenting, being vulnerable to create deeper connections, the value of conciseness for clarity and memorability, living deliberately.

Fun broad conversation about websites, writing, productivity, critical thinking, advice, Useful Not True, women podcast guests, friction in life, blogging, and complexity.
