#165 The Psychology of Finding your Why?

What's your purpose? If you've ever sat in that space of knowing what you're doing isn't quite it but having no idea what is, this episode is for you. I've spent years helping hundreds of players transition out of the NRL and professional sport, and this is the question that comes up more than any other. It's not just athletes either. It's people in the military, people wanting a career shift, university students, and mates in their 30s and 40s who've been in the same job for years but know there's something else. In this episode I break down the actual psychology and process behind finding your why. We cover Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences (there are eight, not two), Maslow's concept of the impulsive voice and how the outside world buries it as we grow up, and the step-by-step framework for uncovering your purpose through specific childhood experiences and the common threads that connect them. This is the episode I've done the most research on and probably the one I'm most passionate about. If it was easy, everyone would be living in complete contentment. But there is a process, and if you're curious about it, this is the place to start. Resources mentioned in this episode: Frames of Mind by Howard Gardner Find Your Why by Simon Sinek Start With Why by Simon Sinek Mastery by Robert Greene How To Find Your Purpose - Robert Greene x Andrew Huberman (Huberman Lab Podcast) If this episode helped you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
