Deep Questions with Cal Newport

CHAPTER

The Deep Life Is Not About Hobbies

Michael Wolraich: Be wary of a mental conception of the deep life that is too heavily focused on hobbies. The human brain is not so happy if all it thinks about is how to i make myself happy, says Wolraich.

You have to discover what's the right fit for you.
