Arthur C. Brooks

There's a lot that we can do, what we're actually called to do.

And so what I recommend that people have an open mind and not be propagandized by the world.

What does that mean?

That means that they're being forced into career tracks that they might not like, that they're being called very special work machines, that they're going to fancy schools.

There's so many more things in life.

And to take a lot of different opportunities, to try different things, to do different jobs, to consider if you want to have children that you might want to take a few years off.

All this is so good.

It's not just okay.

It's obligatory.

Dr. Brooks writes the prescription right now for everybody watching that you need to do a lot of different things and not have the world tell you what your calling is.

You need to find your own calling.

But you had a great career.

I did.

And you really, really enjoyed it.

But it wasn't your calling later, which is why it was so important.

And they made you feel a little bit of panic, a little bit of fear.

Yeah, your calling was a little bit different than what the world was telling you it was.

And you weren't being true.

No, no.

Because people generally aren't.
