The Pursuit of Awesome with Charlie Harary

Building Muscles of Concentration

How to go “all in” by building muscles of concentration. As we train to stay focused, we can better cross from task to task, giving each matter more of our attention. With increased attention we enhance our results in everything we do.

The Crossover

In this episode, we discuss the myths of multitasking and how busy doesn’t necessarily mean productive. By learning how to “cross over” and switch-task from ritual to ritual, we can increase the quality, not just the quantity, of our efforts, which will lead to greater results.

Good is the Enemy of Great

In this episode, we discuss mental blocks to change. Settling for “good enough” is not a step in the path to greatness, it’s the trap that prevents us from achieving it. If our goals are not clear and exciting, we end up settling for good. That mentality blocks us from achieving greatness.

Articulating our Vision

In this episode, we discuss how many dreams go unrealized because they are too general. Visions need to be specific and by using the exercise of the “Ideal Day” we can better articulate what we want so we can craft rituals to get there.

Life in the Fast Lane

In this episode, we discuss how “life in the fast lane” is what is holding us back. Our impatience and our need for constant stimulation, is preventing us from enhancing our lives qualitatively. The faster we go, the more we stay the same.

Not just Repetition but Deliberate Practice

In this episode, we discuss how to “round out” our neuro connections, through a process called Deliberate Practice. Small consistent improvements is how we align our vision with our mind.

We Are All a Work in Progress

Charlie Harary discusses how, by recognizing that we are all works in progress, by getting comfortable in “cognitive tension," we are able to look for more feedback and adapt quicker and better to the future.

Using Vision and Willpower to Design Rituals

In this episode, we discuss how to use visualization and willpower to design rituals. By being proactive, we can change our daily routines and enhance our lives.
