069 - What Dying Can Teach Us About Living (with Dr. BJ Miller)

Engagement in activities for their own sake, such as riding a bike, embodies true enjoyment and freedom. When the focus shifts from winning or achieving to simply loving the experience, a deeper connection to the activity emerges. This concept of play is vital, as it allows for a sense of fulfillment independent of external validation. Embracing playfulness in any context, even serious ones, fosters a love for the act itself.
