Join us for an in-depth conversation with Chris Guillebeau, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Non-Conformity and his latest book, Time Anxiety. Chris unpacks the concept of time anxiety—the persistent sense that time is slipping away, and the challenge of managing endless opportunities in our fast-paced world. We explore how these challenges intersect with neurodivergence and living with ADHD, sharing practical strategies for embracing your strengths, pursuing big quests, and living a meaningful life.
-Learn actionable tips for handling time blindness, setting boundaries, and questioning “time rules” that don’t serve you.
-Chris shares insights from his year-long mental health project and explains why allowing more transition time can reduce stress for everyone.
-We discuss how to balance ambition with well-being, find what truly matters “right now”, and reframe legacy as living well today.
-The episode closes with Chris’s enduring mission: live life on your terms, not by others’ expectations.
