James Kilgarriff  and I talk about what it means to live your life your way, including the difference between wanting something cleanly and wanting it with a whole story of shoulds and justifications attached. We also discuss uncertainty as the water we swim in, the thing that seems to bug us most even though we live with it all the time, and the power of noticing when we’re caught up in our thinking. And James shares the list he wrote one January of things that seemed impossible, including moving to Spain within three months. Four months later he was living in Valencia.
