To construct a life worth living - a connected, interesting, interested and fulfilled life - we need to examine and explore everything outside and inside of us, and perhaps with a greater emphasis on the inside. We can tend to think of exploring in an external sense and think travel in this way is all the exploration we need. Travel is great, but in this day and age even this beautiful tool of self-discovery and emancipation is becoming slightly more superficial and limiting in what it can do for us.
Sutter continues counting down his list of 12 ideas to construct a life worth living, and number 4 is one worth listening to. He tells us to travel, and mainly to travel our inner worlds. He uses his experiences travelling to over 50 countries and compares that to his experiences meditating in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Plum Village Monastery and his introspective journeys using psychedelics to show us that maybe “the way out is in.”
This punchy and interesting talk combines the ideas of Socrates, Jung, and Nietzsche with real life anecdotes and travel, research on the benefits of meditation and psychedelic drugs; all combining seamlessly to softly nudge us to this idea that maybe the best exploration happens when we aren’t moving at all.
