About this episode

Have you ever felt stuck trying to figure out the best option, the perfect plan, or the right decision—only to end up doing nothing at all? In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul explores the surprising trap of chasing superlatives like best or worst. According to the Positivity Model, things can always be better—or worse—depending on how we evaluate them. That means “best” and “worst” are illusions, not destinations. By letting go of perfectionism and simply aiming for better, we get out of our own way and start making real, purposeful progress. This mindset shift could be the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
