Jonny Miller explains high agency and how anxiety, overwhelm, and collapse block you from following through on what you intend. He teaches you to notice bodily cues like chest tightness and build your capacity to handle intensity so you can stay intentional.

Chapters

High agency is almost synonymous with being intentional. What gets in the way of intentionality are our reactive tendencies. I have an intention to ask a girl out, or I have an intention to start a business. But the intensity of that situation causes me to either go into anxiety, overwhelm, worry, or collapse and shut down, which are these two kind of reactive modes. Then it's going to be really hard for me to follow through with any of these intentions. So. So before I go to, like, a level 10 panic attack, I'm noticing there's this tightness in my chest. The last time that happened, I went into collapse. And so that's one strategy. And then the second is practices for expanding your capacity to be with intensity. Those are two traits which accelerate people to be more high agency humans and be able to live more intentionally and follow through with that intention.
