“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” - T. S. Eliot
Inquiry, curiosity and wonder are the heart of exploration, discovery and self-actualization. On my hunt for insights, ideas and inspiration, there are three new resources worth exploring right now.
1. Transcend: The New Science of Self Actualization by Scott Barry Kaufman is an insightful, research-based book that expands and deepens Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Go to his resource website to take a variety of self-actualization tests.
2. Chase Jarvis’ Creative Calling book and podcast provide inspiration and practical advice to pursue your calling and true self.
3. Seth Godin’s new book The Practice: Shipping Creative Work offers a poignant and succinct reminder that the journey is the destination. The daily practice we commit to and ship is the heart of fruition.
Dare to question, explore but most importantly execute so your path can unfold through action. It is through daily practice, delivery and imperfection that we achieve our goals. Exploration to execution. Research to practice. Start to finish.
Explore the mountain of self.
