How Her Parents Shaped Her Career Path
- Satya's parents shaped her: mother a psychotherapist turned astrologer and father an ER physician turned palliative-care leader.
- Their careers influenced her interest in inner life, death, and societal change leading to psychotherapy and writing.
Teach Purpose Not Just Performance In College
- Offer college students spaces to explore purpose, not just grades; teach self-exploration tools and life-purpose skills.
- Byock notes successful college happiness/purpose programs draw overflow crowds and give students practical clarity.
