162: Dawn Graham Interviews Kathy Oneto (Part 2): Inside the Journey to “Sustainable Ambition”

Overview

As of this recording, Sustainable Ambition: How to Prioritize What Matters to Thrive in Life and Work has been out in the world for two weeks and the experience has been both surreal and deeply fulfilling. I’ve been so gratified to hear from readers and reviewers that the book and its principles are resonating and that they’re already putting it to use.

This episode is a continuation of my conversation with Dr. Dawn Graham about Sustainable Ambition. Here we dive deeper into the practical aspects of the method and how you can apply them in your own life. We talk about some of the exercises in the book, how to connect with what really motivates you, and more.
