Show Notes

In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl reflects on his long-held bias toward action, especially in moments of discomfort and uncertainty. While action often leads to new information, Carl realizes that this approach may not always serve him well, particularly in high-stakes situations. He shares his journey of learning to slow down, sit with uncertainty, and resist the urge to act impulsively just to escape discomfort. Through self-awareness and the practice of "First a cup of tea," Carl emphasizes the importance of patience and mindfulness in making thoughtful decisions when the consequences could be significant.
