I request advice in helping my room mate get start exploring self-development, figuring out where his emotional blocks are, etc.

Basically, my room mate is a very emotionally closed down, awkward, and seemingly depressed individual who plays computer games all the time and has a job that is beneath his intellectual capabilities. We've had a couple conversations where I have broken through in getting him to open up a little more. His self-assessment is that he lacks motivation, but doesn't know what he wants. He says he knows he has gotten too comfortable in his life. He says that he would like a relationship with a woman one day, but that the pick-up path is not the one for him at the moment; he feels he has some other more fundamental malaise or problem to solve first. Basically, he lives a low-consciousness life of video game playing and junk-food consumption and has some vague notion he should be better, but doesn't seem to feel any urgency, even though he kind of wants the feeling of urgency. He has no concept of what he really wants out of life.

Ideally, some of you recognize your past selves in him and can provide me with advice in how to best introduce him to self-development. Like what kinds of things are geared towards helping people identify unnameable, vague problems in their lives? Seems like most of the self-development stuff I come across is geared towards people who already basically know what they want, or kind of know their problem areas.

I was thinking of introducing him maybe to a bit of Tony Robbins, suggesting he start trying to meditate, and challenging him to avoid video games for a week. The combination of avoiding games and practicing meditation, would, my hope is, empower him to self-reflect more and learn from where his thoughts drift without the placation of food and gaemz.

Any advice?
