The Great Unlearn

We grew up in a world we didn’t create. And one idea after the next—whether it was culture or society—we were told how to look, how to feel, and who to be. We were told that if we checked off the “right” boxes (think: career, car, money), we’d feel good, we’d be whole, and—naturally—we’d be set. But, turns out, there’s more to the story. On The Great Unlearn, Cal dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit. Whether it’s figuring out how to navigate a relationship, dealing with your emotions, diving into spirituality, or just feeling comfortable in your own skin, Cal and friends navigate the choppy waters of what it really takes to unlearn all the ideas we took for granted, and how to be the best version of what, sometimes, can be so hard to be: yourself.

  <p>Chase Hughes returns for another round, joined by Adam Schell, for a wide-ranging conversation on what “awakening” actually points to. We’ve come to realize that maybe it’s less about feeling better and more about seeing clearly once illusions fall away. We explore how much of our suffering comes from taking too seriously what was meant for play, reflect on parenting in an age of conflicting information, question the idea that the news is more theater than truth, and touch on the edges of human potential that science can’t yet fully explain.</p><p><br></p><p>Watch This...
