Episode notes

The deep life philosophy is much broader than Bill Burnett and Dave Evans's book. The team at 80,000 hours have done over 10 years of research alongside academics at Oxford University on how to build a career that does the maximum amount of good. If you want real advice that goes beyond aphorisms and empty cliches like follow your passion, check out 80,000hours.org slash deep. I also want to talk about our friends at ZOC who are the only free application that lets you find doctors who are available when you need them.

How do you leave a life of superficial distraction and cultivate something deeper? In today’s episode, Cal describes “The Deep Life Stack,” an approach to cultivating a deep life that starts with overhauling the person before making the big decisions.
