There\u2019s a cause and effect to your actions that lead to instantaneous rewards or consequences.  But the more success you achieve, the more muddled this signal becomes.  And the more distorted your signal, the more stressed and burnt out you become\u2026 while your confidence and self-esteem slowly evaporate.  Here\u2019s the worst part: A muddled signal is a sign from your internal environment that it needs a software update. But it\u2019s sneaky - fear disguises itself as prudence and internal consequences are delayed from your external world. And so, you push harder, exert more effort, and fall deeper into this vicious cycle.  But there\u2019s a better way\u2026  In today\u2019s show, you\u2019ll discover why your signal becomes so muddled, how success exacerbates the distortion, and why cleaning your signal and gaining clarity requires a completely different approach to what you\u2019re doing now.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: The insidious \u201cDegraded Clarity\u201d trap that sneaks up on you and slowly spoils your success (and why most people don\u2019t even notice it) (1:23)  Have you silently watched your sense of ease vanish and get replaced with frustration? Here\u2019s the psychology behind why this happens, why it\u2019s more common than you think, and what you can do about it (2:47)  The \u201cTyranny of Metrics\u201d mishap that happens between the external and internal world - and why this explains why your results can lead to peace and serenity (3:38)   The dark side of success nobody talks about (and only a select few actually understand) that undermines your judgment (4:44) What romanticizing the \u201cGarage Phase\u201d of your career means on a psychological and emotional level. (Ignoring this \u201cshot across the bow\u201d can teach your mind the exact opposite lesson.) (7:13)  How adapting to your environment dulls your career trajectory (even though the ability to adapt is a good and natural skill) (8:57)  Why internal constraints - not skill, effort, stress, or ambition - are the culprit behind hitting the invisible \u201cupper limit\u201d of growth (11:02)  How fear LARPs as prudence, experience, and even wisdom (15:52)  For more about David Tian, go here: https:\/\/www.davidtianphd.com\/about\/  Feeling like success in one area of life has come at the expense of another?
