Why Life Works Better When You Stop Trying to Control It

Why Some People Seem Lucky (And It's Not What You Think). This conversation is an exploration of something many people already sense — but rarely trust. Most people assume that if life isn't working, they need to try harder, think better, or fix something about themselves. But what if the opposite is true? James Eder, entrepreneur and author of The Collision Code, has found himself in moments of clarity, flow, and serendipity — often without trying to make them happen. Together, Piers and James explore: - Why intuition feels obvious after the fact but hard to trust in the moment - How effort and over-thinking quietly block clarity and momentum - The difference between being committed to life and being attached to outcomes - Why some experiences feel overwhelming at the time, yet trivial in hindsight - How recognition changes experience more than understanding ever could This is not a "how-to" episode. It's an invitation to notice the moments when things worked best before you stepped in to manage them.
