Tomas Björkman - Part 2: From Unconscious Purpose to Universal Purpose The Life Purpose Podcast
-
- Självhjälp
In this episode you’ll get to hear the second part of my conversation with Tomas Björkman. If you didn’t already listen to the first part I recommend doing that first. In our conversation we look at purpose from the perspective of adult development.
In the first part Tomas outlined three stages of purpose: unconscious purpose, conscious inherited purpose and chosen purpose, as well as three levels of chosen purpose: rational purpose, soul purpose and universal purpose. We discussed these stages from many different angles, and Tomas shared about how his sense of purpose has changed throughout his life and how that relates to the stages.
In this part of the conversation we look at the questions of why purpose is important, what we can do in order to create a more purpose-infused society and what a world infused with purpose might look like.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. I hope that you will too!
