About this audiobook
It’s absurd that we’d prioritize owning the hottest new device, a cool car, or a trendy toy over owning a dream that makes us feel most alive and most engaged. Our dream may be waking up in the morning to do some kind of work that excites us, a calling we must do. Or, it might be having the ability to work remotely and choose the working hours that align with our natural schedule. It could be to publish a book or start a new endeavor in the field we’ve always been curious about. How might we rapidly accelerate our creativity and contributions to the world?
Jonas Koffler says it is never too late to explore our innate talents and unearth hidden opportunities, and tells us that the first thing to do is to break free of self-inflicted friction that is fear-based, lacks courage, and has a sense that we’re not worthy. He says, "We lock ourselves into a narrow, learned blindness path, where we are renting our realities from someone else. It's the script that they give us: come to work every day, do these tasks, go home and repeat for the next 50 years and call it a life." He advises us to pay attention to the "arc of learning," to participate in the opportunity of community in what he calls "the collisions of conversations," and finally he has advice for the "project layer” of our endeavors. Be inspired to hustle your way to recharging your life and creativity with this Inspiring dialogue. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
