Are you truly thinking for yourself, about what makes you come alive, or are you blindly following the advice of personal development experts?

Listen in as host Duff McDuffee talks with with Clay Collins, blogger at TheGrowingLife.com, about how to truly find your own way in life.

Listen in to the end for a tip to live your life from the inside-out from Charles Gilkey of productiveflourishing.com, a wonderfully philosophical blog on productivity and personal development I recommend you check out.

In this first part of the conversation, you will learn…

  • Why becoming an early riser might be bad for your health and your success!
  • How sleep deprivation could be harming your cognitive performance without you knowing it.
  • Why R-directed creative thinking might become more important than L-directed linear thinking in the near future.
  • Why you shouldn’t ask what you can do for the world, but instead what makes you come alive.
  • What you should do if you’re feeling out of control, bored, and stuck (hint: it’s not get organized!).
  • What’s lacking about most talk on the web about productivity.
  • Why you may want to think about your values in words other than “productivity.”
