Directional Living for Aligned Fulfillment


Listen Later

What would happen if you stopped pursuing a career destination and focused instead on the best direction? Too often, we find ourselves checking the “right” boxes to get the best degree and climb the corporate ladder, only to find ourselves unfulfilled as we near the top. There’s something wrong with that picture.

Megan Hellerer, the author of “Directional Living: A Transformational Guide to Fulfillment in Work and Life,” joins me to talk about the approach she has adopted and the one she now teaches. Directional living is about recognizing that human beings change over time. It’s about eschewing a Final Destination and the resulting roadmap and instead focusing on what aligns with our lives and goals as we go through life.

Embrace Megan’s individualized approach to constructing a fulfilling life and career:

  • Why the American Dream just isn’t serving us anymore;
  • Why we can’t define fulfillment by society’s limiting perception of success;
  • How recalibrating your inner thermostat can help you start living directionally;
  • Why the idea of “failure” is overrated and what to focus on instead.
