With big changes happening in the Sherzai family household, we sat down for a roundtable discussion about the concept that will shape what we’re all doing next: our purpose.
In this ‘unplugged’ mid-season chat, we’re joined by our kids — Sophia and Alex! — for a wide-ranging conversation about our values and goals. How they form, how they falter, and how they evolve, in an increasingly noisy world.
Together, we discuss:
• The neurological and evolutionary importance of purpose
• How a firm sense of purpose can help us develop better habits
• The difference between ‘internal’ and ‘external’ purpose
• How we can stay focused on our values in the face of modern life’s distractions
• The promises and pitfalls of AI in shaping (and potentially hijacking) our sense of purpose
Sophia — now heading off to Boston! — works in biomedical engineering and brain-computer interfaces.
And Alex (self-proclaimed Tetris champion) is focused on the intersection of brain health and artificial intelligence.
