Your Brain On... Purpose (Sherzai Family Special)

MP3•Episode home

With big changes happening in the Sherzai family household, we sat down for a roundtable discussion about the concept that will shape what we’re all doing next: our purpose.

In this ‘unplugged’ mid-season chat, we’re joined by our kids — Sophia and Alex! — for a wide-ranging conversation about our values and goals. How they form, how they falter, and how they evolve, in an increasingly noisy world.

Together, we discuss:

• The neurological and evolutionary importance of purpose

• How a firm sense of purpose can help us develop better habits

• The difference between ‘internal’ and ‘external’ purpose

• How we can stay focused on our values in the face of modern life’s distractions

• The promises and pitfalls of AI in shaping (and potentially hijacking) our sense of purpose

Sophia — now heading off to Boston! — works in biomedical engineering and brain-computer interfaces.

And Alex (self-proclaimed Tetris champion) is focused on the intersection of brain health and artificial intelligence.

This is Your Brain On... Purpose, a Sherzai Family Special!
