The Hidden Why Podcast

A great question to ask, “If I were to look back on my life would I have regret for how I am living my life today?”

Not so long ago my life didn't make much sense. I couldn't make sense of what I was doing or where I was heading. I really started to wonder that if this is how my life would continue for the next 5, 10, 20 or even 30 what would be the point of it all and how would I feel.

And as I pondered this thought I knew I had to do something to change. If change is something you seek I hope this question inspires you.

J. Scott Turner is a professor, biologist, physiologist and author who shares his interest in the interface between physiology, evolution, and design. He has a new book, Purpose and Desire, that is to be published in September 2017.

This is the focus of conversation for this interview. We have an inspiring conversation that challenges the materialistic and mechanistic biases as to what life is. Suggesting that homeostasis has a larger role to play in the purpose and desire of all life beyond the common current day view that life is just complex algorithms of biological and physiological processes. Awesomely insightful!

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” Eleanor Roosevelt

Like a ball of snow that starts off small but as it rolls down the hill, it expands in size at an ever increasing rate until it becomes a large mass of accumulated snow. Everything in life that we repeatedly do can have this effect with results both favorable in unfavorable outcomes.

Another man stumbled upon this same site and with an axe in hand thought he’d give it a strike. In only a few picks you wouldn’t believe the sight. A depositary of gold that allowed him to retire for life.
