Doing more. Achieving more. Somehow still feeling… meh?

You work hard. Chase the next goal. Get the grade, the internship, the job, the recognition – and then move on to the next thing.

But what happens when everything looks good on paper, yet something still feels missing?

Join SB Keshava Swami for a practical and thought-provoking session on stress, success, happiness and the feeling of emptiness that can remain even when we're doing everything we're “supposed” to be doing.

We'll explore why achievement doesn't always bring fulfilment, how our pursuit of “more” can keep us stressed and dissatisfied, and how to rethink success without giving up our ambitions.

And no, the solution isn't to quit uni, delete Instagram and move to a cave.

Come explore what we're chasing – and whether it's actually giving us what we're looking for.
