How We Live Now with Katherine May

The pursuit of an extraordinary life filled with experiences often leads to the false belief that one can conquer death through sheer intensity. However, acknowledging the limitations of life reveals true liberation; the understanding that no matter how vibrant one’s life is, it remains a fraction of infinite possibilities.
