Becoming You newsletter

Thank you! Someone will be in touch shortly.

NYU Stern Professor, business leader, and creator of Becoming You, the proven method for crafting your authentic life and career.

Pre-order Becoming You

Hi, Welcome. It’s Suzy.

This website was created to share information and updates about my teaching, podcast, books, and the NYU Stern Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing, and, if you’re so inclined, my dogs. OK, there’s not much about the dogs, but they’re wonderful.

If you’re here to learn about Becoming You, my self-discovery and career-exploration methodology, or the 10-10-10 decision-making system, you’re in the right place. While different in application, both tools have the same intention: Lives of more authenticity, clarity, and alignment, even amidst the sometimes daunting (and often messy) beauty of life.

Again, welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

    So You Think "Altruism" is One of Your Values? Yeah, That's Complicated.

    Lots of people want to help other people. In their jobs. In their lives. In fact, lots of people would tell you "helping" is one of their main values. They only wish they could do it more. How wonderful that is in theory...and how complicated that can be in real life. Every week, Becoming You -- the podcast that aims to answer the question, "What do I do with my life?" -- explores what it actually takes to find and embrace your authentic life. And each week, we talk about the role of values in that journey. YOUR values, that is.

    This week, we put the spotlight on two values that often get confused because they're both about helping, Radius and Non Sibi. Radius is the value held by people who want to change the world. They yearn to be a part of big, systemic change -- the stuff legacies are made of. Non Sibi is the value that motivates people who want to help on a more intimate scale. We're talking small and personal acts of kindness, compassion, and aid. Both values are wonderful and powerful in their own way -- but they are truly distinct. What unites them is that they often, well, hurt in their application. How so? We'll discuss. There can be no talking about helping without talking about its trade-offs.

    To bring this pod and its ideas to life, we visit a farm (yes, with real pigs) to meet Rachel McCrystal, who followed a cow upstate, and never left for the sake of her cause. Then, we scrub in at a trauma unit with Dr. Jodi Taylor, whose Non Sibi mindset fuels her in the operating arena...and at the grocery store alike. Their stories aren’t just inspiring—they’re a mirror for all of us. Because when you understand your values, life’s biggest decisions suddenly become clearer. And maybe, just maybe, the path forward starts to reveal itself. So let’s dive in. Pigs, finding purpose, and the inevitable "ouch" of altruism—all here in this week’s Becoming You.

Becoming You: Crafting the Authentic Life You Want and Need

Designed for anyone who’s ever wondered, “What should I do with my one wild and precious life?”

Becoming You is a multi-part, interactive methodology that guides individuals through the profound, exhilarating, and sometimes surprising journey to their authentic purpose, a life and career rich with meaning, impact, and growth.

Taught only at the NYU Stern School of Business, The Becoming You process grows out of the belief that such lives exist in our “Area of Transcendence,” the intersection of our deeply held values, our unique aptitudes, and the areas of emotional or intellectual interest that provide opportunities for financial flourishing.
