Recorded on July 13, 2022.

We all know those people who followed a path outside of what was expected of them by their loved ones and society – maybe they skipped college to travel or decided to pursue a personal passion after putting down a deposit on law school. Although we may admire those people from afar – and envy their confidence – people who attempt to be true to who they are often find themselves sidelined by society and at odds with family and friends.

Columbia professor Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa’s new book, Inner Mastery, Outer Impact: How Your Five Core Energies Hold the Key to Success attempts to reconcile the paradox between inner and outer success. Based on his highly popular Columbia Business School course “Personal Leadership & Success”, Dr. Wadhwa shares key principles on how to tap into our core selves as we balance the world’s demands. Dr. Wadhwa discusses how to activate the Five Core Energies of purpose, wisdom, growth, love, and self-realization in order to reconnect with our true selves and personal ideals. Listen to this important conversation about cultivating both outer impact and inner success simply by identifying what really matters to us.
