Episode 13: Dream Constraints: Breaking Free to Become More

The Sequel to a PhD Podcast

Apr 18 2023 • 24 mins

Welcome back to the podcast!

In this episode, we explore the relationship between allowing ourselves to dream (i.e., imagining our wild and outrageous ideal) and becoming even more of ourselves. We go through a few factors relevant to scientists and academics that may constrain our willingness to dream. And talk about one approach to expand our dreaming capacity and get closer to understanding what we really want. In my opinion, this understanding is an essential component in testing the hypothesis that we can achieve greater impact in the world by becoming more of ourselves.

Thank you for listening!
