372. How to rediscover your personality

The podcast episode addresses the feeling of losing one's personality in adulthood and offers strategies for rediscovery. It posits that personality is shaped by genetics, environment, and personal choices, with choices having the most significant impact. The host suggests revisiting childhood hobbies, fulfilling "soul needs" like adventure and playfulness, and seeking novel experiences to reignite one's sense of self. The importance of diversifying one's identity through "unproductive goals," such as learning all 196 country flags, is emphasized. Junk journaling is recommended as a means of adding narrative and self-continuity back into daily life. The host also advises listeners to seek feedback from friends and family and to articulate their ideal future self in a "person I want to be" letter.
