I found therapy really useful for having a professional to guide me through the self-discovery process to identify some things I really want in life-- and more important, some things that aren't a priority for me (which I previously thought I really wanted). Figuring out what you DON'T want is at least as important as figuring out what you want. As a result, I changed my career path (slightly! not even a whole blow-up-your-life thing) a year ago and have been happier since. I also really liked the book Four Thousand Weeks, which is all about figuring out how you want to spend your finite lifetime.
