Episode 1664:

James Altucher breaks down how to uncover what you truly love by tuning into what energizes you, not what you think you're "supposed" to enjoy. He offers a simple yet powerful framework to help you navigate distractions, stop chasing empty goals, and build a life filled with genuine curiosity and flow.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://jamesaltucher.com/blog/the-secret-to-doing-what-you-love/

Quotes to ponder:

"Do what makes you feel good. Do what gives you energy. That's the only way you'll find what you love."

"You can't fake curiosity. You either have it or you don't. And curiosity is the beginning of everything you love."

"The more you practice following your curiosity, the more clues you get to what you truly love."
