Summary

How you answer the question that entitles this show will say a lot about whether you ever will have $5 Million. What produces more happiness, fun or work? Would you accept marital advice from a man who has never lived with a woman? But you might well accept car maintenance advice from a mechanic who has never owned a car. Would you take career advice from a man who has never held a job? But you might accept investment advice from an accountant who has much less money than you. Would any mom accept advice about how many children to have, from a woman who has never had children? There is a crucial difference between data and wisdom. Will the arrival of artificial intelligence and self-driving cars put millions out of work? Could you find as much meaning in leisure as in work? Which is more important: what you know or what you are? Finally, there exist ten measures of human greatness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
