Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

Seeking resonance in different areas of life, identify common “properties“ or principles

The key is to break life into different areas or 'buckets' that are significant to you such as craft, community, constitution, contemplation, and celebration. In each area, seek out what resonates with you, be it from reading, podcasts, movies, or other sources. Trust your intuition to recognize what feels right and capture these examples. Categorize these resonating examples and identify the common properties they share. These properties become the foundation for creating a deep life goal and planning a fulfilling lifestyle that aligns with what truly matters to you. Books serve as a tool for intuition, helping you to identify what resonates with you, which can later guide you in building a life with those essential properties.
