In this episode I share how becoming sensitive to the differences in design can create a new burst of meaning in life. I share how the fork and chopstick are a great starting point to understand how inventions and objects around you influence your behavior and perception.

You want everyday, ordinary life to feel more fascinating by training your eye to see the beauty or philosophy in simple objects.

You want to better understand how technology being too convenient  is ruining opportunities to feel meaning or depth.

You want to learn a brief history of the chopstick and the fork and how they are a result of the eras they came from.
