Srikumar Rao developed the groundbreaking course "Creativity and Personal Mastery" at Columbia Business School, which I had the good fortune to take in 2003.

It is the only business school course in the world with its own active alumni association - including annual retreats for CPM alums.

Srikumar has taught this course at other top business schools and delivered a program based on the course to many corporate clients.

He is running an online program that is currently taking applications: https://theraoinstitute.com/cpm-online-2020/

He is the author of two books:

1) Are YOU Ready to Succeed?: Unconventional Strategies for Achieving Personal Mastery in Business and Life

2) Happiness at Work: Be Resilient, Motivated, and Successful - No Matter What

In this episode, Srikumar discusses several mental models, including:

"Good thing, bad thing, who knows?"

and

"Don't shoot the second arrow."
