Letting Goals Take Control of Your Life Can Be Devastating
Stephen Shapiro
Acording to Stephen Shapiro, author of Goal Free Living, we are taught from a young age that in order to achieve great success we must set and achieve our goals. However in doing so, we become focused on where we are going rather than enjoying where we are right now. We sacrifice today in the hope that a better future will emerge, only to discover that achievement rarely leads to true joy. Goal-Free Living presents an alternative philosophy - that we can have an extraordinary life now, all without goals and detailed plans. By living for each moment, itâs possible to have a successful life and follow your passions at the same time. Stephen was interviewed in New York City by Landed Radio Senior Producer/Director, Peter Clayton.
