Dr. Anna Akbari's Start-Up Life and How to Achieve Lasting Happiness

Published: May 23, 2017, 3:42 a.m.

Dr. Anna Akbari is a sociologist, entrepreneur, innovation consultant, and author of the new book, Start-Up Your Life: Hustle and Hack Your Way to Happiness. Inspired by the Silicon Valley start-up culture, Anna lights up the show to encourage you to think and operate like an entrepreneur – even if you aren't one. Anna's goal is to disrupt the way we think about our lives: to accept failure, develop an appetite for risk, and to value experimentation and pliability over rigid planning and expectations.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
