My existential crisis curated content list
My sources of inspiration to create a new paradigm for myself
I’ve recently wrote about a form of existential crisis that I went through recently. You can find the story here (part I).
I’ve been asked what my inspirations were on this journey. This is the curated list of things that truly inspired me in the past two years.
I hope it will resonate with some of you, and that the titles and quick description are helpful enough to give a glimpse of what you will find.
Let me know which one you read / watched / listened to and which ones you liked!
