What if our obsession with the future is actually a way of avoiding the present? In this discussion at IIM Bangalore, Acharya Prashant examines the restlessness behind hustle culture, side hustles, ambition, and the constant pursuit of future security. He explores why people keep chasing success even after achieving what they once wanted, and why years of hard work can leave someone materially successful yet still fearful, anxious, and inwardly incomplete. The conversation also looks at whether practical planning can coexist with living in the present, and how our conditioning shapes what we consider a successful or noble life. The discussion further explores the danger of choosing role models without first examining the lens through which we judge them, with references to Krishna, Jesus Christ, Nachiketa, Gandhi, and others. At its core, the conversation asks us to look at the present condition of the mind rather than endlessly projecting our problems onto the future or the past. Key Themes: - Hustle culture and inner restlessness - Future security and the neglected present - Role models, conditioning, and self-inquiry ➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🎧 Listen to #AcharyaPrashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f0KFweIdHB0vfcoizFcET?si=c8f9a6ba31964a06 Music Credits: Milind Date ~ ~
