- Laura Gassner Otting: "Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life" | Talks at Google
What if success didn’t equal happiness? Many of us pursue other people’s ideas of success, checking off boxes on a list that we’ve been carrying around since before we even remember getting it. And, while it’s bringing us success, it’s not making us happy. Join us and hear from Laura Gassner Otting, author of the Washington Post bestseller "Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life," learning from the thousands of interviews she held with people to find out how people can be both successful AND happy in their work.

Smart smart SMART. Being Limitless is such a powerful universal message. Love this!
Love Laura's message of finding your own path, and not the path others think you should take.
I find Laura's message inspiring. I spent too many years trying to achieve someone else's definition of success. For a while, I was only able to make small changes within my existing job and even these made a huge difference. I hope everone who watches can make at least one small change to make their job better. Marcus Buckimgham's research says you only need 20% of your job to give you joy to have it buffer you from burnout.
Laura is once again inspirational! If only I had read her book and/or been in the audience of this talk long ago (Although I just realized how young she would have been and wondered if I'd have paid as much attention to a 5-year old!). As the MUCH younger brother of two Superstars, I fit her profile of someone who felt failure until I chose my own path - and realized my brothers would honor and celebrate it! Preach, please, Laura!
Laura gave a similar but less-nuanced interview to me & my co-host for USA TODAY about 6 months back. I LOVE this talk for loads of reasons...as an embodiment of what's possible for anyone who's "stuck."
We spend too much time focused on our limitations or our current lot in life. The future is limitless. Thanks for a great talk!
Great message and reminder for everyone that we only have 1 short life on this planet. Do we spend it trying to make everyone else happy and fulfill everyone else's definition of success, or do we carve our own path, find out own success and happiness, which in turn makes us better people to the others in our lives every day.
A really helpful antidote to magical thinking, this is kind of the polar opposite of the Law of Attraction mentality. I especially like Laura's point that following your passion isn't enough, if you don't invest time and work, and build the muscles (literal or metaphorical) that let you resist the voice saying "This is hard. Give up."
*antidote
Limitations or limitless-ness - we get to choose. An important and empowering message. Speaker is powerful and believable.
We say we don't want to do it, but it's so hard to put in practice. "Limitless" is the best word for this message and the potential we have for our life. Great talk, Laura!
LGO always delivers on the message of creating your own choices in life....on your own path.
An important message to create your own definition of success and embrace failure. She provides a framework for you to actually do a deep dive to figure out where it is you want to go & how to do it, by using calling, connection, contribution & control. Very much worth the listen & her book, "Limitless," provides even more detail & vignettes from others.
Why do we get stuck? We do we spin in a cycle of self-doubt and crippling inaction? I love the way Laura break it down in this talk .
I loved this talk. Very authentic and inspiring!!
You had me at “COBOL, BASIC, FORTRAN!”
You have but one life. So, you might as well figure out a simple enough framework to live it Limitlessly. Laura’s consonance framework is a simple yet supremely effective way to do so. As always, Laura, thanks for sharing your smarts with us. 🙏🏼👏🏼
Laura is one-of-a-kind and a truly powerful contributor in this space! Thank you for yet another deeply inspiring message!
👊⚡💥💪🏆
Such rare and motivating wisdom. Empowering stuff isn’t always easy stuff, but LGO delivers.
Really enjoyed this. Thanks Laura and looking forward you working with our EPIC community in May!
Such an important message--to stop carrying the weight of other people's goals. And Laura's book shows practical ways to actually figure out your 'why' and then go after it. Great talk.
Love this authentic talk! I've had to unstick myself repeatedly, and this gave me a push to drive ahead with no limits. Thanks!
Love LGO and loved this talk....
A great messaged delivered with such thoughtfulness and compassion. Thank you LGO for doing what you do.
I *love* this talk. Great and important message for everyone to hear!
I.Love. This. Talk. Great job LGO
Laura's message is inspiring because she LIVES IT. She walks the talk.
Worth a listen. How to create your own confidence, rather than follow what others think of you.
Love this talk - thanks for the inspiration!
Really enjoyed this talk. Love the vulnerability and realness of this.
And what self help non-sense are you trying to sell?
chamade166 I’m trying to sell my course “don’t be an asshole in UA-cam comments.” It’s clear you need that course. Let me know if you’d like a complimentary copy.
Phil Gerbyshak Best. Reply. Ever.
Michael Barber thanks!!
Good talk and an important message!
Inspiring message Laura!
I feel so sorry for every kid whose parents are on social media it is so toxic for their development and their relationships to be the means to an end of parents who post. This talk illustrates that beautifully.
She's super intelligent, just wish that it was more about us and less of the me, me, my, I, I, I etc,.
People should stop comparing themselves to other people and focus on improving themselves from what their prior situation was. Look inwards for improvement, not at others
Disappearance of one tiny blessing is enough to realise the importance of million other blessings that we take for granted.
Awesome
People love to troll what they are unwilling to face. LGO does an amazing job of laying out what is necessary to make living a Limitless life a reality. Love her and her ability serve a big, tall, beautiful, delicious glass of Shut The Fuck Up to the trolls.
Find something bigger than you are, that is making an impact NOT just action
Find the one that matter to me
Matter means making an impact to the society at large, but you have to care enough or passionate enough and never give up. Follow through.
I have to be good at that job too, otherwise not making an impact and I am not confident
Hi
Did she know that this was supposed to be a Google Talk and not Ted Talk?? She doesn’t take a breath
Average people should give talks on these topics. Not someone who went to law school and dropped out to join a presidential campaign. How many people have that kind of privilege? Very few.
I wish I could control my selective hearing. Cuz it seems like there's too many people spouting bullshit and I feel like telling them but they'd just get stuck in a logic loop and self destruct. Just be a philanthropist if you don't think you can do it on your own lmao
You'r 50+ yrs old, and hot little mom!!! Age is just a number! It's about how you feel. I'm 49 and still ride BMX, Fixed grears, and swing on local park gyms. GO figure?!?! F-your B-day, and just send-IT!!!! My coment is cause you feel so sorry for your age!!! Ok 51 seconds in let me "hear" her out! 3 minutes in, let your kids go, and most of them wil walk home!! The one's who don't, well you did your best and mourn their losted!!! DUMPED OUT! 3:01, you keep repeating yourself!!!
This is the talk that made me ubsub from the channel. There's just too much noise with all the self-help nonsense.
probably best to not watch self-help talks if you don’t like self-help talks.
