How to Find Your True Path in Life (ft. Robert Greene)

What are you called to do in life? What is your life’s task? And once you figure that out, how do you pursue it?
The one and only Robert Greene (‪@RobertGreeneOfficial‬) sat down with us on the pod to talk about all of these questions and a whole more.
We discuss finding and pursuing one’s life task, the nature and causes of “Peter Pan Syndrome”, science vs timeless wisdom on life, figuring out what do in midlife after you’ve taken the wrong path, and a much more.
Enjoy.

"Taking action as best therapy in the world." So true!

The problem is when there are no good options and you're not sure *which* action to take :/

[@Dadillustrated]

42 year old, single father who is facing the replacement of my 20 year career by the instant results of AI generated work. This is the podcast I desperately needed in a moment where I’ve been contemplating what the rest of my life might look like after this moment (and everything leading up to it) in time. Analysis paralysis is very real for me right now. But this episode has given me the motivation to get really real with myself about what will give me purpose going forward and what I need to ACT on to keep moving. Thank you chaps. You are honestly very much needed voices in this time of chaos.

[@mickrozycki451]

Are you an illustrator? What are your thoughts going forward? Are you going to pivot? Please reply. :)

[@Dadillustrated]

@ Hey Man, yeah illustrator, creative designer and overall wild card creative. Personally I have not used Ai and I don’t think I really ever want to. I have work here and there but nothing like I used to. I’m not going to tell others not to use it either. It’s a waste of oxygen trying to have that discussion. People are going to people. I, however, am going to continue to practice my arts and look for new ways to bring in an income. Im going to get creative. Position myself in something exciting and fulfilling. I’ve lost the urge to climb ladders. It’s more about sitting on the grass and taking in the small things. Whatever it is I end up doing, I can say with almost absolute certainty that it will be creative in some shape, way or form.

Find other ways of monetize your passion that doesn't evolve around selling it out to people that can't appreciate what you can do. As someone that played around a lot of that kind of tech, they cannot produce work with consistent quality in specific ways. Just the same goes for writing, their writing is limited to whatever you feed into them, and the structure of what they do is limited to the token window or the resolution of an image for example. They can't think and plan like we do, at least not yet.

[@puchbua1433]

Exactly what I thought 🙏🏻

[@philipsmith3424]

I like Greene quite a bit, but as an older man, I find his focus on 20 year olds dispiriting and a tad insensitive (probably unintentionally) - he's talking from the perspective of an older man who's already had a good measure of success. There's no question that figuring things out when you're young is hugely advantageous, but I don’t believe that life effectively ends when you're older. If you still have the interest, energy, and willingness to make sacrifices, you can still (and I'd argue, should) take action. Many highly successful people have struggled against terrible odds (chronic illness, disability, extreme poverty, etc) before finding success. I've personally known of a few people who've turned their lives around quite late in life; one of whom is a close family member. Sometimes facing your age squarely and being honest about your mortality can light a fire that can spur you to action...in other words, don't give up your dreams simply because of your age. Having said that, you must be realistic - don't shoot for something unachievable (becoming a world-class gymnast in your 40s, for instance).

[@AlexanderPochertPiano]

Thanks a ton for your comment. It's important for me, because I'm at the lowest point in my life at the age of 36, and it's inspiring to read you know people personally you vastly improved their lives later.

[@kevinbeck8836]

Greene didn’t write his first book until he was 38

[@tamtamr9081]

i agreee , he said everything beautifully until he was asked about 30 and 40 year olds.. then it became very uninspiring

[@DameFyffe]

Thank you for having Robert Greene on, he's the teacher we all needed in school

[@christopherbramwell8262]

Yes. My opinion is EXACTLY that too. Robert Greene is the teacher that we all need in every school because his thoughts are healthy PRACTICAL & REALISTIC ACTION STEPS. Which includes progress, not perfection. Perfection isn't duplicateable and even IF it was, perfection is not sustainable. Just a consistence "commitment to excellence" with great, healthy daily habits. But, a person has to be willing to learn first. "WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY, THE TEACHER WILL APPEAR".

[@macoeur1122]

Thank you, Robert, for this: "We do not have enough individuals in this world...we do not have enough weirdos. we do not have enough people who are happy to be unique and different...and AI and all of that stuff is just turning you into a glob. A big social glob on social media where everbody's the same...Everybody's told to respond like little mice to this algorithm...to this algorithm...and we're turning into something that's not human!" This IS changing who people are! Iain McGilchrist has talked about how the world is becoming more a nd more left hemisphere dominated (which is more "algorithm like") to our ultimate detriment...and I have a very strong hunch that "big data" and social media are likely the biggest culprits. I believe we are, intentionally or not, being conditioned to believe that there is "one correct way to be" and we're all tripping over ourselves trying not to miss any of the latest "data" handed down by the powers that be, because we believe we'll be cancelled and left in the dust if we don't continually mold ourselves around the latest narratives handed down by "the experts" of what the "data" shows "correct" is.

Man this speaks to me so strongly. I spent almost 20 years as a musician/music teacher before I discovered my true path was photography. Both were with me the whole time, but when I was young I felt more strongly about music, so I pursued it professionally. Years later I realized that the music path was there to help me realize that being a portrait photographer was really what I love the most.

At 78 my backstory was orchestrated at 12 (looking like 17) when by myself, I took the train to Manhattan's Penn Station. In 1958, stepping out onto West 34th Street and encountering ALL THOSE PEOPLE, I saw resources I could learn from and witnesses that would help ensure my safety. I didn't care what I did for a (legal) living. That day at 12, I declared: I'M LIVING HERE! In 1966 at 20 I moved to Manhattan and stayed 50 years till 2016 when I was 70. I had several careers in that half a century but I wanted full-throttled experiences. And the thrilling thing was that Manhattan far exceeded those expectations!

[@angelinahunter182]

@@n8works Thanks for your encouragement. One year ago I actually wrote a book about my half century in Manhattan, 100 short chapters, but as soon as I was finished with a first draft I encountered neurological problems and so far, I have not been able to find effective treatment -- so that book may never be published. BUT I live in the Old Town section of a western state and I have a white, red, and black Mohawk -- 15-year old boys come up to me and tell me "You're dope!" I get out every day and often share my stories verbally -- it's what I can do at this time.

@@n8works You nailed it -- I AM a real character. And I live in a place where every day people approach me on the street to tell me they love my style -- as an "extrovert on steroids" I LOVE meeting new people -- and some of these folks become friends.

It's nice to hear someone explain that silent feeling of not belonging. I'm 30 with three kids, my wife and I bought a house, and we both have high paying jobs. Life sounds great for us. But I have that constant feeling like something isn't right. I've come to the conclusion that it is my job and it's environment but currently not sure how to correct it. I look forward to looking into the work these men do, to try and develop a solution. Thank you all.

I am in the same boat exactly, except i am currently pregnant and super depressed due to hating my job. Were you able to figure out a way out of your situation?

[@andrewsusen3154]

@iiorigins I'm sorry to hear you are in the same boat, I'm sure the pregnancy hormones don't help. So far the only thing I feel will work is to start my own business. I'm very drawn to gardening and composting so I'm thinking something in line with that. I need to have a conversation with the wife first, Im not going to dive in until we decided it's the right thing. A big issue with my job is nothing else pays as good. I guess I'd suggest just start looking around when on maturity leave. There's an endless list of other incomes

[@Self-Improvers89]

I totally felt like this (I'm 35). About 10 months ago I split with my partner of 18 years. Since then I have found a new place to live, dated someone else briefly, learned a huge amount about myself, had trials and tribulations, started a KZbin channel, started a skool community... Basically I'm trying to completely change my life circumstances. I dont have the answer but for me it has been try new things, but the things I have tried I would never had done when I was in a relationship because there was too much judgement from my partner.

Yea for sure. A few dif terms would fit. People only know what they know. Even if their perspective isn't built to see the truth of something, they will still be sure they're seeing truth. They/we have to reach the understanding that there is always more than we're aware of. None of us sees everything optimally, but as long as we know that, then we are open and able to move in the direction of doing so.

[@DoctorZ999]

Approaching is OP. Great for dating and making new friends. People think you need lines or "rizz" but the secret is to be casual. Assume you already know them. Overtime your confidence & character develops. You can't lose! Just stop listening to the excuses your mind gives you because it's damn good at it.

[@MdSTherapeuticcoaching]

You find purpose and meaning by helping others, challenging yourself or being part of something bigger than yourself. Find meaning with this and you will be happy. As a child your knowledge and experience are limited by your parents and peers. There are millions of people that could know what to do as children because they were not exposed to more that a very limited view of the world. How many people of your age had the opportunity to go to university? Childhood dreams cannot guide you. Experience can and failures can. You are successful when you are happy.if you are happy you are the most successful person.

“What’s the form of pain that you enjoy that most people can’t tolerate?” In addition to reading all the other signs in life while we are finding our true path in life, look within, and see what we are so willingly engaged that other people deem unbearable. It’s an enlightening question to ask. Thank you. ❤

I have been struggling with all of the things that you talked about in the podcast - and as Simeon that has been working towards mastery (via Robert’s books), this has given me so much perspective, and such a great time. Thank you for putting it together.

We are all here to just learn … our souls grow with the more bad things that happen and we survive to realize … simplicity and boredom are a luxury . Since we don’t have to go out and hunt a meal or worry where it’s coming from…. Many have it delivered !

[@reddevil211287]

I’m teary eyed right now 🥲

[@mollyb7043]

Yes finding contentment and beauty in the boring and mundane .

Robert greene nailed it when he said that the increasing prevalence of So called Peter Pan syndrome in men is likely due to an absence of positive male role models. I think there is a lack of positive female role models also. Perhaps it should just be said that there is a lack of famous people who are role modeling the sort of behavior that is achievable and healthy and works. He's also right when he says that there's way too much talking these days and not enough action. Although I do believe that anyone who has a platform should use it to express their views, especially about controversial topics because we have all become so afraid to express ourselves for fear that someone will be offended and even more afraid to do anything fofia that they will be in breach of some type of law or policy or at risk of litigation. I don't agree with everything he has to say, but Tom McDonald really nails it when he says in his song. Brainwashed that the whole world has been brainwashed. I feel like since covid this has become especially prevalent, Even amongst my own circle of friends, they seem to have lost any interest in radical or out of the box ideas. Not that we were activists as young people but back then I didn't believed that there was really that much wrong with the world. I used to think that conspiracy theories were ludicrous and that people who believed in them had a screw loose. And then it turns out that a number of them were actually true and that makes me look back on others and think that there's definitely something there that's at least worthy of talking about. I hate the term conspiracy theorist because it's not about a conspiracy often. It's just about an alternative hypothesis to explain either something that's happened or something that is happening or something that's going to happen. + I think that the more people we have talking about things outside of government rhetoric or that the media legacy is promoting, the better. Especially with the government trying to and I don't doubt that they will be successful bringing legislation to force moderation on all Australian web content. It's called the "misinformation and disinformation" bill. And it's going up on November 25th.🤬😞

[@roloflanagan]

You nailed it right there too!

[@LittleKikuyu]

Governments everywhere seem to be on a path of curtailing free press, investigative journalists and open exchange of information…As well as peaceful protest and citizen’s rights in general. It’s frightening.
