About this listen

One of the common thinking errors we encounter revolves around 'should' and 'must' statements that we say to ourselves, creating high demands on how the world needs to be, when the world has not agreed to our demands. Often, we don't need to operate anywhere near that level to be successful.

If you carry around the invisible rule book of your own standards, ticking off each day where you fail to live up to impossible expectations, and the world conspires to frustrate you. This podcast in our series on thinking errors will be of interest. Richard and Graham explore how, by changing should to could, and I must to I would prefer it if, we can give ourselves more scope to move forward in an uncertain world.
