Description
Understanding our desires is a complex task, as they are often driven by something deeper than our individual needs. Luke Burgis explores the concept of mimetic desire, which suggests that our desires are not innate, but rather a result of imitating the desires of others. This phenomenon affects various aspects of our lives, from relationships to career choices.
By examining the role of mimetic desire in shaping our identities and behaviors, Burgis offers practical advice on how to break free from chasing unfulfilling desires and cultivate more intentional wanting. Drawing on his experience as an entrepreneur, teacher, and student of classical philosophy, he provides actionable strategies for gaining more control over our desires and finding meaning in our work and lives.
