We dive deep into the youtube video by Goobie and Doobie's video of "I Was An MIT Educated Neurosurgeon, Now I'm Unemployed and Alone in the Mountains—How Did I Get Here?". We explore the intense moral dilemmas faced by professionals, the difficulty of accepting change, and the devastating effects of excessive stress on our lifespan. Drawing on Carl Jung's concepts of the Self, Anima, and Animus, we discuss the importance of aligning our values and embracing our true selves. Discover why we often struggle to find our true identity and how embracing your uniqueness can leave a lasting legacy.
