Two chapters into “The Journey” and I’m questioning everything. Horvath shows how schools teach what to think, not how to think. His take on embracing mistakes and finding your authentic path feels revolutionary.
The story
Just finished the first two chapters of “The Journey” by Attila B. Horvath and I’m sitting here wondering why nobody told me this stuff years ago.
Horvath’s take on education hit me hard – schools teach us what to think, not how to think. I’ve felt this disconnect but couldn’t articulate it until now.
His concept of “individuation” really clicked – developing your authentic self beyond society’s expectations. It’s not abstract theory either. He builds on William James and Maslow to show how our uniqueness should guide our choices, not external definitions of success.
The most freeing insight? Mistakes aren’t failures but essential teachers. I’ve wasted so much energy fearing failure when I should’ve been learning from each misstep.
Horvath challenges us to question our programming and filter everything through our uniqueness. It feels like permission to step off the conveyor belt of conventional success paths.
If you’re feeling trapped in someone else’s version of achievement, these first chapters might be exactly what you need right now.
