<p>Well, I’m trying to figure out what interests me and how I can get involved in my interest once I find it.</p>
<p>Yeah that’s a hard part 
He says there really is no “right” interest (read his book if you haven’t).
On his site, Cal suggest finding your “ideal life conditions” (ex. living in the city or rural, structured or unstructured, busy or relaxed, etc). and working backwards from there.</p>
<p>How to be a High School Superstar has literally changed my life - I am now living the ideal superstar lifestyle and have developed a truly unique “deep interest”. Anyone who hasn’t read this book needs to. Now. It’s amazing, as is How to be a Straight A Student.</p>
<p>^Nice!!! :)</p>
<p>What’s your deep interest? :)</p>
<p>American Indian studies!</p>
<p>That’s awesome! 
I have 5 “focuses” (Japanese, Korean, writing, piano, and dance). Although my “deep interest” is Japanese animated cinema (like studio ghibli!)</p>
<p>There’s another book I love- it’s called “The Renaissance Soul”. It’s not specifically for teenagers, but people with too many interests (aka. me! lol). Some of you guys might like it.</p>
<p>That is truly unique I will keep my eye out for that book, I am suffering from a similar syndrome.</p>
<p>Hehe thanks! Yours is unique as well!</p>
<p>Yes, it’s a very good read. On par with High Schoolstar and Cal’s other books! I enjoyed Renaissance Soul that much!</p>
<p>That’s crazy high praise! I must find a borders that is saying open and buy it</p>
<p>I just put his books on hold at the library, and read a couple of his posts on failed simulation and passion. I think it’s great. The thing is, I have a lot of what he called “superficial interests.” I have trouble choosing one or two, and I have a few that I am a bit farther in but I feel like I can’t let any of them go because I’ll regret it. I’ve let go of a few things before and I regret it now, so that just makes it more tough. </p>
<p>I also have a fear that if I focus on one thing and get really accomplished at it, then I might decide that I don’t want to do it anymore. Like, if you like something at the start but then when you delve deep into it you just realize that it’s not what you want to do with your life. </p>
<p>I mean, if you have something of a failed simulation in high school pertaining to a particular interest, or you get realllllly good at it, then wouldn’t people expect you to major in it or keep pursuing that interest? What if you’re like, I’ve had enough of this and I’ve wasted my time.</p>
