Self-discovery

A "journey of self-discovery" refers to a travel, pilgrimage,[1] or series of events whereby a person attempts to determine how they feel, personally, about spiritual issues[2] or priorities,[3][4] rather than following the opinions of family, friends, neighborhood[5] or peer pressure.

Cultures from around the world have developed an array of modalities in the journey to discover oneself.

In modern times practitioners and scientists have come together to create a map that brings clarity to the process of self-discovery.

A journey of self-discovery is a popular theme in literature.

[8][better source needed] The drama films Eat Pray Love (2010) and Life of Pi (2012) are also associated with the idea of a journey of self-discovery.
