Deep dives

The Power of Questioning Culture

Questioning established cultural norms, which the speaker terms 'brules' or bullshit rules, is essential for personal growth and fulfilling potential. The 'culturescape' influences beliefs shaped by family, education, and societal expectations that may not align with individual desires or identity. For instance, pressure to pursue traditional professional paths in certain cultures can lead individuals to choose careers that do not ignite their passions. By recognizing and interrogating these influences, people can break free from limiting beliefs and uncover their true aspirations, leading to a more authentic and gratifying life.
