From the episode: The lies our culture tells us about what matters -- and a better way to live | David Brooks

Answer

You can't climb out. Someone has to reach in and pull you out. From the dark period, David states you have to have a few realizations. For him, his first realization is that social freedom sucks. The second realization is your soul. The final realization is that you have to expand to a different level of consciousness.
