There’s so much joy in being able to think clearly—whether it’s cracking a tough decision, understanding a complex concept, or even letting go of bottled up confusions. When creating and shipping stuff, it’s very important to introspect on what’s holding us away from this clarity of thought. And the biggest plus is being able to do this as a community, getting to know others’ perspectives, and intellectually growing our knowledge.
Anne-Laure is the founder of Ness Labs, a learning community with over 50,000+ makers. She’s a neuroscientist, educator, and soon-to-be author. She writes and speaks about mindful productivity and encourages founders and builders to derive first principles in thinking.
In this video, Anne-Laure and Aishwarya chat about a mutual topic of interest—why "where do you see yourself in 5 years" is a rather depressing question and a line of thought for creative, high-agency people. It's a controversial take, and may not sit well with many, but if your intent is to perform things that bring you joy and learning, then it's time to adapt a scientist mindset to reframing goals.
