The dangerous psychology of peak performance with Sebastien Page, head of global multi-asset at T. Rowe Price overseeing $400+ billion in assets. He reveals why measurable goals are "too powerful" and create goal-induced blindness that destroys ethics and relationships. Page exposes how 25% of finance students would risk death for money, why Roger Federer lost 46% of his points yet dominated tennis, and how Neil Armstrong's heart rate stayed at 75 BPM while manually landing on the moon as everything went wrong. From sports psychology research to managing massive portfolios, this conversation dismantles the toxic "grind at all costs" mentality. Sebastien shares why optimal performance requires stress (not zero stress), how top athletes are "incredibly neurotic," and the counterintuitive truth that knowing when to quit separates elite leaders from failures. Science-backed strategies for achieving sustainable high performance without losing your humanity.
