#2125 Our Need For Purpose - Dr. Cam McDonald

from The You Project · host Craig Harper

Doctor Cam's back and this was more of an interesting chat between two blokes (I hope) than a back-and-forth 'interview', exploring a particular topic. We covered a lot of territory including the science, skills and f**k-ups of parenting (between us we have two kids, so definitely ignore me), how success doesn't always equal happiness (in fact, quite often), the elusive state of contentment, the ridiculousness of analysing the mind with the mind (the tool measuring itself), the determinants of personality (genetics, environment, influences, programming, culture, etc.), our need for purpose and lots more. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
