One ingredient of a good life, I think, once again comes out of Socrates, but you can also find it to some degree in the Buddha.

It's that a good life requires one to examine it.

It requires one to examine what a good life is.

So to live a good life is to, in an ongoing way,

in an open-minded way, continue to examine the nature of your life.

Now that might sound a little bit redundant, but something happens when you continue to do it as a daily practice.

Your life becomes fuller, it becomes richer, becomes more textured,

I think it becomes much more vital.

So that's at least one component of a good life.

That's what I found each and every day,

as one person put it, each and every day of a philosophical exercise. So each day, you're exercising,

you're exercising thinking about the kind of life you're living.

With the idea of it's, with the idea that's becoming more coherent, more intact, more in-fleshed as you continue to do that. I'm Sreeny Rao and this is the unmistakable creative
