Explores how childhood experiences within the family shape adult identity and motivation. It suggests that to truly understand oneself, one must ask: “What did I need to do in childhood to win my parents’ support and approval?”No family offers unconditional love. Instead, children must conform to an idiosyncratic set of laws and expectations—ranging from obvious achievements, like excelling in school, to subtle rules about money, appearance, or behavior—in order to feel accepted.These early conditions often persist unconsciously, continuing to influence adult choices and ambitions long after leaving home. The author proposes that we should audit these inherited demands and consciously decide whether to keep following them or to “emigrate” from these outdated family “republics” in order to align more closely with authentic adult values and aspirations.Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
