3What if the difference between success and struggle wasn't luck, but Agency? George Mack returns to reveal the most undervalued idea of the 21st century: happening to life, not letting life happen to you.
Discover why all problems are solvable—from landing rockets (SpaceX) to flipping houses at age 10, like Cole Summers—and how low agency traps (like the Midwit or Rumination traps) keep you stuck. We contrast these peak achievers with everyday low agency, like the compliance test or UK trains still running on fax machines.
Learn the four pillars of high agency, including the crucial bias to action, and how adopting an "experiments" approach can help you escape the rumination 'doom loop'. This is the essential mindset shift you need to achieve "escape velocity" and stop being passively pulled by the current.
