S7E10 - What is a Good Life to You?

It's the Season Finale People! And we're wrapping up the season with the notion of building a good life in an unsteady world.

I’m guessing you were born in the 90s like we were. Many of us are still waiting for the fairytale adulthood to begin, even though we are physically there. 

For many, rent consumes half or most of our income, and many of us delay ‘life plans’ waiting to be more settled (which keeps evading). The 2008 crisis, Covid, energy crises, insecurity, terrible government, lack of bare necessities etc. are just some of the frequent stop gaps that we’ve experienced.

Then there are the pressures of social media, the reality of the gig economy, and the rising western ideologies that are demeaning the important traditional values such as loyalty and family.

Amid this noise and chaos, amid all the anxiety and worries that we young adults contend with, how then can we define a good life?

What kind of life would we be okay with?

How can we balance ambition without the tradeoffs that can come back to bite?

How can we all have optimal human functioning when we cannot all have the best ideal functioning?

We hope that as you listen, you realise that we are all in this life journey together, and the journey towards a good life begins with having these same conversations with your friends and family.
