  • I’m 32 years old, married, no children yet, and still haven’t figured out what I want to do for the rest of my adult life. I can’t find a focus, trade, or plan. I don’t know what I want in a job/career. I do know that I want financial stability, job security, & a growing field that will still matter 25 years from now.
  • I’m 79 and have connected with a new purpose through the diagnosis of a dear friend and a cousin with Alzheimer’s. Now learning to be a group facilitator for caregivers. This is a new lease on life for me.

    I feel very lucky to have been able to find my purpose very early. As I grow I see more and more people who feel lost and my gratitude grows.

    "It's not an intellectual thing, it's visceral, it's emotional, it's physical." "You feel that things are easy, everything clicks together, there's a delight." "Energy and motivation can come from either pressure, desire for something or desire to get away from something."
  • Wow Andrew!! You popped up in my utube feed and , by the look in your eye, I knew you were honest and an excited explorer. I wanted more. But Robert Greene! “Profound” is the word. And you encapsulate his message so beautifully. Thankyou Andrew and Robert❣️

    Love Robert Green. So much to learn from him. Read most of his books. Makes you understand yourself and others

    I'm mid life, and I have been feeling pretty much at a loss for what to do with myself, navigating internal conflict; healing from a pretty traumatic upbringing and still haven't figured out my 'life's task' (except for a love for nature and becoming a horticulturist, obtaining an official diploma document only to realize I cant do it forever, also health care) thinking about what to do next alot of my waking life and feel so grateful for the time I've been able to spend just healing and listening and learning about self-optimation / self love practices. yet here still, with this incessant need to make money for some reason...I have decided to do something practical, & discipline inducing, & feel with enough determination/ dunno about 'swimming with the current' but I hope to hell I feel a sense of success & accomplishment when I get there.
  • Excellent!!! Thanks Dr Huberman for sharing this. Robert Green is phenomenal and a very humble individual. God bless you both. Two amazing men!
  • @user-hh7ev4fj2f
    I regularly listen to the words from coaches “you are unique”, but I was almost bursted in tears when I’ve heard this on first minutes of this video!! It is something ❤
  • @newday2637
    Some very good insights in this clip. I find it to be much more difficult to find the new path your life needs to go later in life. Many distractions through the years. Makes sense to look back to when you were young, when our likes and feelings were natural. I also agree somethings moves us good or bad , to let us know we need to change direction or our course. We can only hope to achieve the feeling that we are swimming on course. Great clip
