Why Most People's Goals Are Actually Other People's Goals — And How to Find Your Own

There's a subtle trap that most people never examine. Just below the level of consciousness, they've been shoulding all over themselves — building a life around what they think other people want, what would validate them in someone else's eyes, what a parent or culture or institution decided was the right path.The most common form of despair, Søren Kierkegaard observed, is not being who you are.In this episode Jonathan Doyle explores one of the most underexamined ideas in personal development — the difference between goals that are genuinely yours and goals that were installed by someone else before you had the self-awareness to question them. Drawing on Kierkegaard, the concept of human becoming, and a world shifting faster than any previous generation has had to navigate, Jonathan makes the case that the game you don't want to be in is a game constructed on somebody else's desires for you.Get quiet.
