Most people think finding your "calling" is the key to a fulfilling life — but Damon Garcia's provocative new book flips that idea on its head. Instead of chasing some elusive purpose, he argues you are already enough as you are. In this mind-shifting conversation, Damon shares how embracing mortality, rejecting toxic spiritual messages, and rediscovering community can free you from the burdens of needing to be someone else.

You'll discover why the idea of a "divine plan" might be more harmful than helpful, and how the systems of oppression—like capitalism and colonialism—are connected to our misconceptions about purpose. Damon explores the history of Satan as a symbol of empire, showing how systemic injustice is rooted in the stories we tell about power, gods, and rebellion. He challenges us to see the divine in everyday moments—through art, play, and community—rather than in some far-off ideal or future reward. Enjoy!
