"The Value of Others" and the emotionally compelling lifestyle.

I wanted to dive into "An emotionally compelling lifestyle." Mentioned many times in this book but elaborated on almost not at all in 400 pages.

I think the reality for us, all of us, is that we probably don't have one. There was a post here recently about entrepreneurship. Long story short, most small businesses fail, like 90% of them. But the fantasy of the entrepreneur is that you're a dude in a suit on a private jet with an expensive watch and Moscot sunglasses shaking hands with someone as you "close the deal." You are attractive, fit, and "Making moves."

The fantasy behind this is emotionally compelling. That person goes to parties with other people wearing suits, hot women are at said party, and wouldn't you know you are at the party to close some more deals no doubt. I can see how that fantasy is emotionally compelling.

I have no deals to close. I have no interest in being an entrepreneur. I want to be the best I can at my profession, but I personally have zero interest in taking on the pressures of starting a business and finding customers. I know from watching my dad, and he has gone to zero galas and hasn't really ever had to wear a suit or fly in a private jet.

So we have this emotionally compelling fantasy, but I think that's what it is, just a fantasy.

I'm a nurse, and I work full-time. I imagine many in this group are full-time employees of someone. What can we do to create an emotionally compelling lifestyle?

The reality is we all kind of do the same stuff. The details vary, but the story is the same over and over. We work full-time, maintain fitness, and have time for maybe 1 or 2 hobbies after that we can build great skill in.

What's the most bang for the buck, I guess. Playing videogames isn't sexy, but we all do it. Watching tv isn't sexy, but we all do it. We all do the same things.

How do we make a life that is more emotionally compelling with the limited time we have?

What is a life that someone else wants to be a part of, if we all mostly do the same things?
