The Examined Life
Khe Hy
Here’s a scary fact about adulthood. We stop asking questions. We lose the playful curiosity and creativity that we had as children. And it’s a shame. Questions are gateways to our deepest desires, insecurities and dreams. Reflecting on a deep question takes us one step closer to a life well-lived. Each week, we’ll ponder and debate one of life’s thorniest questions. We’ll explore ambition, careers, money, relationships, productivity and psychology — all in the pursuit of living an Examined Life.
