Episode notes

Don't measure life with someone else's ruler. Create your own standards. I resigned myself to poverty a life of poverty and not having very much money but having a lot of time. That was the liberation that I saw was was saying, look, I don't need very much money to be happy. So I'm going to do these things and the fact that they succeeded was a bonus.

Photographer, author, and visionary Kevin Kelly talks about his book Excellent Advice for Living with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. His advice includes how to have a deep conversation, why it's better to control time than money--and whether, in the end, we should give advice in the first place. Other topics of discussion include the right object of our aspirations, the reason for optimism when it comes to technology, and why Kelly is not worried about AI.
