The book Mastery was highly recommended for its exploration of how to find and pursue one's purpose. Robert Greene described it as a practical tool for thinking about one's purpose.

"

I first learned about Robert's work from reading the book mastery, which to my mind is a brilliant exploration and a practical tool for how to think about and pursue one's purpose.

And the reason I recommended mastery is because these students were soon going to go into the great jungle of post undergraduate education.

Mastery transform my entire life and in many ways this podcast probably wouldn't exist where it not for mastery because it really embedded in me this idea that we all have a deeper purpose and it explains how to go about finding that purpose.

And then I read mastery and I realized yes I love running a laboratory I love teaching but there's something else for me and it has to do not with a podcast I even know what a podcast I probably knew what a podcast was

And so I tell you that and I also will use that as a segue for asking you now since I'm sure people's ears are picked up to this. How do you find your purpose?
