Takeaways:

• Having a strong motivation helped me persist through the tough learning process
• Repeating behaviors reinforces neural pathways, making skills feel more natural
• All new skills feel clumsy and frustrating at first, but mastery comes through repetition
• To learn new skills, just start doing the thing - even if you're bad at first - and keep doing it

The Book:

In today’s world, the acceleration of megatrends – increasing longevity and the explosion of technology among many others – are transforming life as we now know it.

In The Perennials, bestselling author of 2030, Mauro Guillén unpacks a sweeping societal shift triggered by demographic and technological transformation. Guillén argues that outmoded terms like Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have long been used to pigeonhole us into rigid categories and life stages, artificially preventing people from reaching their full potential. A new postgenerational workforce known as “perennials” – individuals who are not pitted against each other either by their age or experience – makes it possible to liberate scores of people from the constraints of the sequential model of life and level the playing field so that everyone has a chance at living a rewarding life. Guillén unveils how this generational revolution will impact young people just entering the workforce as well as those who are living and working longer.

This multigenerational revolution is already happening and Mauro Guillén identifies the specific cultural, organizational and policy changes that need to be made in order to switch to a new template and usher in a new era of innovation powered by the perennials.

The Guest: Mauro F. Guillén is one of the most original thinkers at the Wharton School, where he is Professor of Management and Vice Dean for the MBA for Executives Program. An expert on global market trends, he is a sought-after speaker and consultant. He combines his training as a sociologist at Yale and as a business economist in his native Spain to methodically identify and quantify the most promising opportunities at the intersection of demographic, economic, and technological developments. His online classes on Coursera and other platforms have attracted over 100,000 participants from around the world. He has won multiple teaching awards at Wharton, where his presentation on global market trends has become a permanent feature of over fifty executive education programs annually. He is the WSJ bestselling author of 2030: How Today's Biggest Trends Will Collide and Reshape the Future of Everything

Are you tired of setting S.M.A.R.T goals and not achieving them? Do you feel like every goal-setting video or podcast gives the same exact advice? If so, you are not alone. The truth is, S.M.A.R.T goals are not always effective because they do not consider context or situation. They rely exclusively on willpower and internal motivation to get you to take action, which is not always enough.

Luckily, there is a better way. In this video, we introduce you to the Matthews Method, a new goal-setting process that considers social pressure and individual circumstances. Dr. Gail Matthews conducted a study on goal-setting in 2015 and found that the Matthews Method resulted in a 76% increase in goal achievement likelihood. That's right, 76%!

By incorporating social pressure and individual circumstances, the Matthews Method makes it more likely that you select goals that you are capable of consistently pursuing. It also utilizes social pressure as an additional motivational tool rather than just willpower. The study conducted by Dr. Gail Matthews shows that this approach is incredibly effective.

So, if you're tired of struggling to achieve your goals and want to try a new approach, watch this video and learn how to apply the Matthews Method to your own life. Join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments below. And for more motivational content, check out episode 879 where we discuss how to get and stay motivated.
