I recently came across this book called “The Renaissance Soul: Life Design for People with Too Many Passions to Pick Just One!” by Margaret Lobenstine. I’m fascinated with this concept, as it turns out, I fit the description of one of these “souls”! 
Here is a list of descriptives of the “Renaissance Soul”, based on my skimming of the book via Amazon.ca (and, partially, on my own knowledge of my likes/dislikes):
- prefer variety over repetition
- illogical and seemingly chaotic
- don’t like to stick to schedules & to-do lists
- impulsive
- flexible
- prefer many options, rather than one clear choice (hate having to choose just one)
- easily bored after having mastered something
- most alive and engaged when learning something new
- unpredictable
- respond eagerly to new possibilities
- constantly chasing new hobbies and interests
- naturally curious
- thrives on wearing many ‘hats’
- enjoys learning new languages & exploring new cultures
- at peak performance, can be very detail-oriented & focused
- creative
- somewhat indulgent
- passionate and inspired
- chafe at limits
- need constant new motivation
- opt for change over continuation in the face of success
- don’t like rigid long-term goals, or action plans
- love to learn
- interact and evolve with their surroundings
This is, by no means, an exhaustive list. This is just what I could come up with in five minutes! LOL. I’m looking forward to being able to read the whole book!
