0:00.0	Welcome to Kelly Corrigan Wonders. I'm Kelly Corrigan, and today I'm wondering about what practices
0:10.8	might help us translate our deepest desires to be good, useful people into actual behaviors,
0:18.9	such that our lived lives match more closely as closely as they possibly can, the lives we
0:25.4	hope to live. As you probably know, over the last month I've been in conversation with Claire
0:31.4	Danes and Kate Boehler about a book called Life Worth Living, A Guide to What Matters Most,
0:37.4	which was written by Miroslav Wolf, Matthew Crosman, and Ryan McAnally-Linds. My goal today
0:43.9	is to synthesize the very best of what surfaced in those conversations and offer it back to you.
0:50.0	So join us for a very special Kelly Corrigan Wonders.
1:06.6	Welcome to Kelly Corrigan Wonders. I'm Kelly Corrigan, and today I am so sad to be wrapping up
1:13.4	the Life Worth Living series. So in case you haven't been with us for the past month,

1:52.4	no pain, should it be every emotion on the wheel? What's the role of suffering in a good life?
1:58.6	And then instead of answering that question, the authors of this book, who I adore, Miroslav
2:04.2	Wolf, Matthew Crosmond, and Ryan McAnelly-Linds, will give you a smattering of answers on that question.
2:12.3	What does Oscar Wilde say? What does Nietzsche say? What does Sigmund Freud say? What does Peter
2:16.7	Singer say? What does an economist say? What does the Buddha say? So after I read Life Worth Living,
2:22.7	I reached out to Miroslav and the guys at Yale and said, I got ideas about this thing,
2:28.2	I want to talk about it, I want to offer it up as a workshop for the listeners of Kelly Corrigan
