Episode 3686:

Anthony Ongaro explores the surprising value of doing things without a defined purpose, revealing how playfulness and curiosity can boost creativity, reduce burnout, and generate eustress, the good kind of stress. His reflections challenge the productivity-obsessed mindset, encouraging a return to simple joy, exploration, and intentional downtime.

Quotes to ponder:

"Doing things for seemingly no purpose doesn’t mean it’s pointless."

"Eustress being released into your body feels like pure excitement about being alive."
