Even “self-actualization” may do in a pinch. You obviously haven’t succeeded in engaging any deep interests (in the sense of “intellectual interests” not the sense of “source of comparative advantage.”) As it looks to me, that’s your problem. .
You’re right in a sense—I have been doing things that I felt were prestigious and world-saving, not necessarily the things that I had a deep, inherent interest in. But when I say that I’m now trying to concentrate on the things that I have a comparative advantage in, I mean things that I have some talent in and which I have a deep, inherent interest in. Being so interested in something that one is naturally drawn to do it, and doesn’t need to force oneself to do it while gritting one’s teeth, is a big part of having a comparative advantage in something.
