What is a Good Life? #3 - Celebrating its Simplicity & Challenge with Tom Goodwin What is a Good Life?
-
- Self-Improvement
On the third episode of the “What is a Good Life?” podcast, I am joined by Tom Goodwin.
Tom is the author of Digital Darwinism, a keynote speaker, an advisor to Fortune 500 companies and start-ups, and a commentator on the future of advertising, marketing, technology and business. He also contributes to publications such as The Guardian, TechCrunch, Forbes, and the World Economic Forum, among many others.
In this episode:
- Observing the oddity of knowing what is good for us, even enjoying it, and rarely making it a habit
- Comparing social media and in-person communication
- Questioning where we spend all this time we save by using various apps?
- Exploring what Tom is both optimistic and pessimistic about regarding our use of technology
- Questioning the obsession we have with the optimising of and streamlining of human behaviour
- The importance of challenging our own views and not taking life so seriously
The point of this podcast, in general, is not to provide you with neat little Top 5 actionable takeaways, if life were simply about absorbing intellectual information, we’d all have 6 packs (if that was your thing) and live the most productive lives imaginable.
The point is to curiously observe what is going on for us as humans and to bring more of our behaviour into focus, which can lead to incremental, maintainable changes over the long-term (may not sound too sexy but I’m tired of the instant nonsense, and endless lists, people are promising elsewhere).
