  • Pushkin.

  • Let's be real for a second.

  • The world feels pretty overwhelming right now.

  • Lots of us are feeling exhausted and despondent.

  • We spend our days grinding at work and then trying to zone out when we get out of work,

  • which often means scrolling endlessly just to unwind.

  • And if that sounds familiar, you might be wondering quietly to yourself, is this all there is?

  • How do I feel better when the world feels so blah?

  • What if there was a way to hit the reset button on how you experience life?

  • To see the world with fresh eyes like you did as a child,

  • when everything felt alive, full of possibility, and somehow a little magical.

  • The mere fact that anything exists at all is astonishing.

  • So just take a longer, deeper look into almost anything,

  • and some wondrousness might be available to you.

  • While in today's episode, the last one in our series on how to get unstuck in 2026,

  • we'll learn that this mindset can be within reach.

  • In fact, today's two guests will share their tips for how to design it.

  • Greetings, this is Dave Evans, the co-founder of the Stanford Life Design Lab.

  • So glad to be here today with Dr.

  • Laurie Santos and my dear partner Bill Burnett.
