Unlocking Your Potential: The Ultimate Guide for ’N’ Types to Discover Your Dream Career and Deepest Life Purpose
Choosing a life path is hard for people like us.
- Do you feel like you're wasting your life and not reaching your true potential?
- You have so many interests. How can you pick just one thing? Is it possible to find a career that works for generalists/jack-of-all-trades like you?
- Do you feel drained, depressed, anxious, or nihilistic? If you're not religious, where can you find deeper meaning?
- Been feeling stuck for a while now? How can you create a life purpose that's truly important, impactful, and enlivening—one that motivates you even when life feels hard?
- No idea what you really love doing? How are you supposed to figure that out? Is it too late for you at your age to switch to a dramatically different life path?
I struggled with all that, too—for over a decade.
I'll explain more of my journey below. But for now, I'll cut to the chase:
I finally cracked the code to create my dream job & life purpose, and I've helped hundreds of other people transform their lives, too (especially ENTPs, INTPs, INTJs, INFJs, and ENFPs).
In this comprehensive guide and companion workbook, I'll help you discover a life path where you can feel excited to get out of bed every morning (even if you’re a fellow indecisive ’N’ personality type who has so many passions it feels impossible to settle on just one).
This is not a dense 300-page business/self-help book full of fluff.
I've condensed what you need to know into a highly efficient guide of only 73 pages (full of color, images, tables, and charts), plus a companion workbook full of practical exercises—so you get the actionable advice you need without wasting your time.
Millions of people have taken a first step toward discovering their life purpose by taking my cognitive functions personality test.
In this guide, I'll point you toward careers that are particularly well-suited to each personality type.
But if you're not super into typology, no worries.
While the guide is written specifically to align with the minds of fellow 'N' types (e.g., ENTPs, INTJs, INFJs, etc.), only a small part of it directly references personality typing.
For most of my 20s, I dreaded the weekend.
Why?
Because I felt so drained during the workweek that I knew the weekend was my one chance.
The weekend was when I was supposed to figure out my life.
Unfortunately, Sunday evening would roll around, and I still wouldn't have made any progress.
Again.
Another precious week of my life wasted.
I still wasn't happy.
I still wasn't fulfilled.
And on Monday morning, the cycle would just repeat itself.
I knew I had so much potential, but I wasn't putting it to use.
I knew I should have been making a big impact, but I was just treading water.
I had so much to offer the world, but I couldn't figure out how.
I felt empty inside—a dark existential hole telling me that life was passing me by.
I read all the popular career and lifehacking books. I worked with therapists and coaches.
But nothing stuck.
It's possible to change—to feel truly alive.
I've now had 8 separate careers—including video game designer, freelance writer, management consultant, and life coach.
As an ENTP with infinite interests, it felt impossible to choose just one career. It felt like I'd be losing a part of myself by committing to just one thing.
That turned out to be completely false, and I'll explain why in the guide.
When I finally quit my prestigious management consulting job to start my own business, I cut my income in half, but I'm dramatically happier than ever before.
(I'm in there!)
Now, I genuinely look forward to getting out of bed in the morning
(most days, at least—I'm not over-promising a miracle here).
I say this with 100% honesty: Even if I were to win the lottery, I genuinely wouldn't change much about my life. I'd still be doing the same type of work I'm doing now.
I'm not saying that because I'm rich. I'm not, since I've chosen a path where I make less money in exchange for a lot more freedom and flexibility—the things I truly value.
I'm saying that because I'm doing the work that I truly love doing—work that it feels like I was designed to do.
Finding meaning: From Catholic, to strong atheist, to Zen Buddhist
I was raised Catholic and turned strong-anti-religious-atheist at age 13.
For the next 20 years, I harshly judged people who believed in religion.
But, if I was being honest, I also felt some envy that they were able to find comfort in notions like heaven.
For me, that felt impossible.
I simply couldn't believe in such things since they didn't make logical sense to me.
And so, I feared death, and I believed that life must be inherently meaningless.
But eventually, I couldn't take it anymore.
I devoted five years of my life to searching for a way out—to clear the dark void inside me.
I tried everything from skydiving, to shamanic plant medicine journeys, to visiting holy sites in the Middle East, to giving progressive Christianity a try, to ecstatic dancing in the forest, and a lot more.
Eventually, I found my home in Sōtō Zen Buddhism—a spiritual system that was finally able to convince my rational mind that there might be more to reality than I had imagined.
I can't emphasize enough how different my life feels now.
I've been able to create a life purpose that feels incredibly comforting, inspiring, and exciting.
It's there to support me when I'm feeling grief or loneliness, and it's there to motivate me to keep going even when I'm feeling low on energy.
It's changed the entire way I approach my life.
To be clear though, I'm not going to try to convert you to Buddhism.
Rather, I'm going to guide you toward finding the existential path that's right for you—the one that will light you up inside and create a fire within you.
This guide is for deep thinkers who truly want to unlock their potential as humans.
That means I’m going to push you (gently)—to work toward the deepest levels of fulfillment and aliveness that are possible in a human lifetime.
This isn’t going to be wishy-washy advice meant to reach everyone and appeal to general audiences.
I have a strong point of view on what’s truly important in life, and I’m not afraid to be blunt with you. We'll cover perspectives from contemporary philosophers like Alan Watts & Eckhart Tolle, to ancient animistic & shamanic traditions, to psychotherapist Viktor Frankl, to entrepreneur Naval Ravikant, and more.
I'll even share some of the deepest practices that have had the most profound existential impact on me—though some of them might push you outside your comfort zone.
Why should you trust me?
As a Transformation Coach & Existential Counselor, I’ve helped hundreds of people make huge changes in their lives—switching careers, moving across the world, starting businesses, going back to school, following their long-held dreams, and shifting the way they spend their time so they feel more alive and fulfilled.
(You can read more about my credentials here.)
I’ve also been lucky enough to have a very successful career myself—everything from winning an Emmy, to working on some of the top-rated video games of all time, to management consulting & executive coaching leaders at Fortune 500 companies, to running my own successful life coaching & counseling business.

- Links to some of my favorite videos that are most relevant to the content
- I'll also throw in a bonus: my 8-page PDF that describes, in detail, the life purpose I've come up with. I believe it's universal enough that, if you're struggling to create your own, this might provide an excellent starting point for you.
- Access to me: If you get stuck along the way, you can email me and I'll be happy to answer your questions (and, for more in-depth support, many people choose to receive regular one-on-one coaching from me as they go through the guide—you'll even get your first sample session totally free).
The investment
For years, I led my coaching clients through this material in real time during our sessions.
In other words, back then, you would have paid hundreds or thousands of dollars for this content.
Now, I've synthesized all that into a comprehensive guide that you can go through on your own.
Instead of paying thousands, I'm asking that you invest only $97.
I believe it's worth a lot more than that, but I feel even more strongly that everyone deserves to achieve their potential by living a life that feels truly alive.
So, I'm pricing it low to make it accessible to as many people as possible.
If you don't find this guide valuable, let me know within 30 days and I'll give you your money back.
If you'd like a preview, you can even look through some of it for free.
