About this listen
Every year more than 40% of Americans set out to improve their lives through New Year Resolutions. But the fact is only 8% of people actually achieve their goals. Unfortunately, traditional approaches to setting and reaching goals forget the complex nature of life. If you have ever felt deflated by your inability to reach your most desired goals, you're not alone. It's time to rethink our approach. After all, life is not a scripted performance. It's an improvisation. Despite what some of the goal-setting gurus want us to believe, we can't control every element of our life to realize a static endpoint. But that doesn't mean you can't live a life you truly love. Drawing from the principles of improvisation, Improvised provides a whole new framework by which to create happiness, success, and the life of our dreams. It is your guidebook for transforming the way your approach every aspect of life. Discover true success in business, your relationships, and within your home.

Story
We each have a destiny. Finding the courage to drive past the challenges, the pains, and even the shortcuts of life to the deeper purpose of living is to thrive in one's divine destiny. Most people have sensed destiny pulling them to just the right place or person. Whether it is the spouse you meet, the children you bear, or the promotion you receive, everyone has a purpose to pursue. Sometimes it is understanding our destiny that helps us accept what on the surface appears to be failure.

Everything is figureoutable.” Whether you want to leave a dead end job, break an addiction, learn to dance, heal a relationship, or grow a business, Everything is Figureoutable will show you how.

Story
Life isn’t about “finding” fulfillment and success - it’s about creating it. Why then has creativity been given a back seat in our culture? No longer. Creativity is a force inside every person that, when unleashed, transforms our lives and delivers vitality to everything we do. Establishing a creative practice is therefore our most valuable and urgent task - as important to our well-being as exercise or nutrition. The good news? Renowned artist, author, and CreativeLive founder, Chase Jarvis, reminds us that creativity isn't a skill - it's a habit available to everyone.
