Great article, Deepak and some stunning photos. The concept of IA (and what a great antipode to AI!) is really thought provoking. It can help us navigate our lives with genuine autonomy. In this regard, I would like to suggest a gem - this book on meditation by Lawrence Leshan (https://amzn.in/d/gn20Bq9). The “Thousand Petal Meditation” is a joy to do and I believe an insightful way to discover one’s IA. Thank you for this post. Loved it!

Fascinating and true. And great insights here. The people you travel with on this journey seem to be a massive bonus. This is what we should've known when we were young.

So this is what I was saving my first substack comment for...

Insightful, beautiful and emotional. And an absolutely relevant in a time where a growing number options of how to live often becomes a endless list of checkboxes to tick for social / personal capital. Godspeed to all of us in our journey of rejecting the most popular presets to find the best settings for our internal algorithm.

Meanwhile, I'm just waiting for the next listening session you subject me to. ❤️

It was a great, great pleasure to read this piece. Some sentences hit very hard and home as well. Going to read it again immediately.
