287. Life Ignition Tools with Jeff Karp (Part 1)


Listen Later

Join me as we welcome the exceptional Jeff Karp, a Harvard Medical School professor and MIT bioengineer, to share his profound insights on harnessing the power of questioning and interdisciplinary thinking. Jeff takes us on a journey through his book "LIT," a manifesto for personal growth and intellectual curiosity, born from his own experiences with learning differences and ADHD. His story is a testament to the life-altering power of a single question and how it sparked a relentless pursuit of knowledge through intentional inquiry. 


This conversation is a heartfelt reflection on the relentless quest for self-improvement and the courage to align our actions with our deepest values, despite the distractions and pressures of daily life. Jeff tackles the complex evolution of self-identity, the journey towards moral maturity, and the importance of adapting to life's constant changes, drawing parallels between the universe's expansion and our own personal growth. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that promises to ignite your mind and inspire a lifelong commitment to learning and self-discovery.
