Podcasts: Living With Purpose
The Purpose & Meaning Series
In the Documentary Series, I interview speakers who offer solutions to our world’s challenges.
#10 Does everybody have a calling? | Caroline Myss
This is the first episode of a new series on Purpose and Meaning. I’ve been digging deep into this topic for many months now, reading and watching everything I can find.
There are many interesting aspects to this question but very early in this exploration, I became obsessed with the question: “How is it that some feel a compulsion to do something grand – to “have an impact” as the modern vocabulary puts it – while some others do not?
I get to ask Caroline one question, and her answer is at least thought-provoking if not brilliant. It got me captivated and brought together many pieces of the puzzle that I found originally were incompatible. I invite you to listen to this short interaction I had with Caroline and her very personal way of perceiving personal growth.
