What is a Good Life?

The Pacifist Who Went to War with Dmytro Dokunov | EP 195
Bu podcast hakkında
What is a Good Life? is a podcast that invites us to question what we’ve been told makes for a good life, and to pay more attention to what really matters: our relationships, the moments that make us feel more human, and the experiences that connect us to one another. After more than 300 conversations over five years, I’m increasingly convinced that the good life we are sold and how people actually experience it are very wide apart. These conversations offer another way of seeing the world, and an invitation to live a little differently.
New episodes every Tuesday.
