DEREK SIVERS | Making Decisions, Achieving Excellence & Finding Meaning | Modern Wisdom Podcast 150

Derek Sivers is a writer, entrepreneur & musician. Derek's episodes on The Tim Ferriss Show are some of my all time favourites so I was super excited to speak to him. Expect to learn how to guide your choices at a crossroad, his views on excellence, why it doesn't matter if life has no meaning, why truth is less simple than it might seem, why the truth can be more complex than a simple answer, and when Derek is finally going to release his new books.
