Update: 2025-03-31
Description
Today we're sitting down with Raffi Grinberg, author of "How to Be a Grownup: The 14 Essential Skills You Didn't Know You Needed Until Just Now." After walking away from Wharton's MBA program just two weeks before it started, Raffi challenged conventional wisdom and created a wildly popular college course teaching the life skills most schools never address. His journey from management consultant to educator offers a refreshing perspective on designing a meaningful life in a world that tries to program our decisions. In this enlightening conversation, we explore:
- Why breaking free from "default programming" is essential for creating a life you won't regret
- How to identify your unique "superpowers" and leverage them for greater career fulfillment
- The critical transition from an achievement mindset to a contentment mindset without losing your ambition
- Why making counterintuitive life choices—like moving next door to your best friends—can lead to deeper happiness than following the traditional script
