Most of us use some “strategies” to gain a measure of control over our lives. Here are some common ones that we all use from time to time. See if you can find your favorite default strategy:
• Denial
• Comfortable boredom, laced with escapism
• Irrepressible good humor
• Fatalism
• Hormonal surge of youth
• Magical belief in technology
• Comforted by the myth of control1
In this episode we try and get a better handle on our default strategies and getting to a healthy measure of control over our lives.
