DEFINITIONS
Non-linear thinking is thinking along unconventional, atypical lines or in a non-sequential manner. In non-linear thinking, people make connections between seemingly unrelated concepts. Non-linear thinkers draw conclusions and develop ideas, solutions, and innovations from experience gained in a variety of different fields. And they are more likely to innovate in surprising and world-changing ways.

Perry Knoppert provides evidence that no matter how monotonous everyday life may be, it is better than social isolation.

He also documents his own home with flowers on a windowsill or a child lying in bed reading. Knoppert was as isolated as the rest of us, observing his children and objects from the safety of his home, except when he went outside to document the state of affairs in public spaces.

Born in New York, Christine never feels like an outsider but knows so well how it feels to be misunderstood. Talking about the world, how it could be a better place. Being completely honest with each other, connect, and be "raw".

Are you alone in the world? No, you're not, I know....

It seems that multipotentialites always have had an extremely difficult life. Why is that? How can we change that?
"When I think too much, I overthink"

"How fucked up is the world? Fix the world and fix yourself and do it at the same time... make intelligent mistakes... be vulnerable, real, transparent, honest... model imperfection be human... weaknesses cease to be with awareness... control, security, safety are an illusion... people are my drugs... be the change and keep changing... know someone's why more than their what... surround yourself with diversity... be present with your fear and do the shit anyway... to be human is to be afraid... and so is curiosity, discovery, play, risk... don't say don't...do, do, do... have no regrets... teach discovery... how to pick the right kit for you... identify your mountain... focus on discovery not fixing"

Brenda de Vries in gesprek met Perry Knoppert. Brenda, een reclamefotograaf met 3 alter ego's over het hebben van een multipotentialite brein. "Mensen begrijpen me niet als ik gewoon mezelf ben", daarom heeft Brenda ervoor gekozen om haar verschillende focusgebieden te verdelen in aparte alter ego's zodat 'men' het begrijpt.

Aan de voorkant is Brenda zelf, de achterkant is Syd D. Doscher, de bovenkant is Rosalinde C. Zeidman en aan de onderkant is het Mitzi C. Manton.

How should one decide which career path to pursue?
This is a question Hashem ElAssad fiercely grappled with for a long time. To bear witness of that, he keeps his 2004 “What Color is Your Parachute?” in his memories box.

He’s been very serious about this quest. A report for a 10-hour career assessment he did when he was 14 said: “Hashem is so precise that he left us two voice messages saying that he wasn’t sure that his answers were precise enough.” He is now 30. The same intense dedication went on in university and his professional life.

An interesting reversal occurred. He’s continued to explore this question but as a researcher, writer, content creator, and coach. He agonized for years about his “perfect” career with plenty of research, analysis, and consultation from people. He found that his perfect (i.e. a very good one, not literally perfect) career path is to simply continue what I'm doing but in the opposite direction.

The map is the terrain! His immersion in books, assessments, courses, and soul-searching exercises continues but now, for example, he created the presentation Rethinking Career Choice: Why 80,000 Hours Should Give Us Pause and was approached by, Social Science Space (Sage Publishing) to publish his article: Zoom-in vs. Zoom-out: Resources for the Generalist Specialist Trade-off.

Sheldon (35) is a creative thinker that loves learning new things and solving new problems. He has never done the same job twice, and he hopes his experiences and a head full of random knowledge will help bring a new perspective to the table.

We don't fit into the computer learning systems from HR departments but invite us, and we will have an amazing conversation.

Elena is an amazing mother of 4 children, born in Köln Germany, and lives now in Iceland. She speaks more than 10 languages and had 3 paid jobs. We talk about the life before knowing she was a Multipotentialite, just doing what is expected from you is nearly impossible. "We need to have an intellectual challenge".

We also talk about her childhood and her children, two of them are definitely also Multipotentialites. Also, they are dyslectic, and we discuss the connection between dyslexia and multipotentialite.

In this interview, Perry talks to Madhur, from India, who moved to Canada. About his life as an introvert and multipotentialite, about emotions, and is everybody a multipotentialite?
Are we all in essential multipotentialites and is it nothing special?, are we just blocked because of the culture we live in?

You have to be interesting, well as a Millennial Multipotentialite like MJ this is not a problem whatsoever. As a future Change Engineer at SpaceX, we spoke about how her generation looks at being interesting. If having a "label" makes you interesting, and if Multipotentialites always have different labels.

So many people in India who are not aware of being a Multipotentialite. Amazing and unique talents are wasted when we only focus on being a specialist. We also spoke about the Avadhanam, a literary performance popular from the very ancient days in India. Avadhānaṃ originated as a Sanskrit literary process and is revived by poets in Telugu and Kannada in modern times. It involves the partial improvisation of poems using specific themes, meters, forms, or words.

The avadhāni is a multipotentialite!?

How do you manage your life as a multipotentialite? Yes, bring structure but what does structure mean? How does your structure look like?
When are you most productive? When are you creative? When is your energy at the highest point of the day?
