In this episode, featured not-expert is Ved Pandey.In keeping with our theme of learning from somebody that’s just two steps ahead instead of an expert, my goal with this episode is to explore the mind and musings of a young boy - and how the timeless optimism of childhood can indeed be discovered by anyone of any age. By the end of this episode, you will walk away with a perspective on why the child-like curiosity is the greatest treasure we possess, and yet something we all discard as we grow up.In this episode we also witness the Conventional Mind in action.In Robert Greene's Mastery, the concept of the Conventional Mind describes how societal pressures, practical demands, and conformity erode the innate openness and curiosity we possess as children. Greene contrasts this with the Dimensional Mind, which retains childlike wonder while integrating disciplined expertise.
