Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a seeker who is torn between following a conventional career path, specifically an MBA, and following his inner voice. He explains that the core issue is not the choice of a specific degree like an MBA or MS, but the center from which one makes decisions. If a decision is made based on external influences—such as pressure from parents or the desire to follow friends—it is fundamentally wrong. He challenges the seeker's motivation for pursuing an MBA in advertising and brand management, pointing out that these fields are often driven by the desire to influence others for someone else's profit rather than genuine creativity.
