Overview
Series 2 | STRIVING is an active way to examine what you're striving for and why. We designed it to inspire you with great ideas, harness your own original thoughts, and give you a deeper understanding of someone important to you.
You'll get a portal into 12 groundbreaking thinkers and how they have thought about striving. You'll intuitively explore their ideas in conversation with a friend, family member or partner. And you'll crystallise your insights in a series of private video reflections.
By unpacking your dreams and engaging with incredible ideas, you'll be able to seriously question and decide what you want to strive for and why.
The Series
12 conversations to challenge your perspective.
1. Success
Is the idea of success in reality an illusion?
This conversation reaches beyond money and power to closely examine this slippery substance, why it disappears the moment you get it, and what follows in its wake.
Inspired by Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius.
2. Family
Is your family your destiny?
This conversation looks at the attitudes, behaviours, beliefs, and identity of your family and uncovers what you have chosen to perpetuate or reject.
Inspired by neurologist Sigmund Freud.
3. Values
What motivates you more than anything?
Using a Personal Values test developed at Stanford University, this conversation unearths the values that compel and concern you — and how they determine what you strive for.
Inspired by psychiatrist Viktor Frankl.
4. Death
Does death make you braver?
This conversation considers when you will die — and explores how this thought can liberate you from the fears and obstacles that prevent you from pursuing your dreams.
Inspired by existentialist Irvin Yalom.

How it works in three steps
Learn from the world’s greatest thinkers.
Each week, you'll encounter a pioneering thinker from art, philosophy, science or tech. You'll get their perspective and examine yourself through the lens of their ideas. By integrating their thinking with yours — you’ll refine your own distinctive viewpoint.
Think differently in Norn Conversations.
Invite a friend, family member or partner to join you each week — ideally at home. We'll guide you through the experience. Airplane Mode. 90 minute timer. Music playlists. Powerful questions. You'll stumble upon fascinating insights that change how you see yourself.
Capture your insights in a Private Journal.
Your most original ideas will often emerge the day after your Norn conversation. That's why we designed a new way to capture your thoughts — in private over video, audio or text. Over time you'll form a journal of your most meaningful insights and discoveries.
