Desiring Well: Mimetic Desire & the Art of Knowing What You Really Want.

S2T Letter # 1 explores the concept of Mimetic Desire and how our desires are often shaped by societal influences and models we unconsciously choose. 

Drawing on Rene Girard's theory and insights from Luke Burghis, the letter encourages readers to become more conscious of their desires and align them with their personal values.

This worksheet is intended to help you start the process of uncovering the roots of your desires. 

Through guided reflection, you'll identify your current desires, examine the cultural influences behind them, and assess whether they are in alignment with your values. Finally, you will choose 3 specific models to help you focus your desires going forward.
