Modern life offers unlimited options—24/7 notifications, endless feeds, infinite streaming—and with it comes constant distraction and decision fatigue.
This week’s video explores how the paradox of choice leaves us anxious and unfocused, and why true fulfillment is found not in endless freedom but in committing deeply to one meaningful path.
Drawing on insights from psychology and wisdom from Paulo Coelho, Tim Ferris, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Max Komes invites you to narrow your focus, simplify your life, and discover the freedom that only commitment can bring.
In this video you’ll learn:
-How endless choice fragments attention and drains mental energy
-Why commitment creates direction, purpose, and long-term fulfillment
-Practical ways to simplify your life and cultivate mastery
Whether you’re seeking clarity in relationships, work, or personal growth, this talk offers a grounded path toward living with depth over breadth and purpose over distraction.
