Description

In this episode, I go over a few steps you can take to manage seasonal depression maybe and avoid an existential vacuum. We discuss Victor Frankel's ideas about Existential Vacuum in his book Man's Search For Meaning. 

I also cover the idea of the Hero's Journey with ideas from Joseph Campbell's  Hero with a Thousand Faces.  Life is far to short not to plan a journey.  Also, the business philosopher Seth Godin, in his blog, suggests we should not get distracted by the event and miss the importance of the journey. 

What do you have planned for the New Year? Have you mapped out a journey, or are you waiting?  Be sure not to wait too long.
