Rob further explores the concept of the hero's journey, including why we experience an innate desire to achieve goals in general, and the benefit of conceiving our lives as a philosophical journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS To be able to combine, amalgamate and align what we do with a philosophy that we believe in is ultimately empowering. Human beings are fundamentally built as goal-oriented creatures, and naturally look for purpose in all tasks, no matter what area of life is being considered. We cannot be held hostage by our conscious mind, which can often use fear as a way of holding us back. We cannot stop moving forwards because of irrational fears that something bad may happen if we do. BEST MOMENTS 'I find it sustaining to look at life as a journey' 'It is these things within us that push us towards great things' 'If we suppress things, then they have to come out in some way or another' VALUABLE RESOURCES Leader Manager Coach Podcast      ABOUT THE HOST Rob Ryles is a UEFA A licensed coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background.
