Manage episode 361870531 series 1531230
Kevin Kelly is a renowned technology writer, futurist, and entrepreneur who co-founded Wired magazine in 1993. He has authored several books on the impact of technology on society, including "The Inevitable" and "What Technology Wants." He is also a sought-after speaker and advisor on emerging technologies and their social and economic implications.
His new book, Excellent Advice for Living: WIsdom I Wish I’d Known Earlier, distils Kelly’s timeless advice on everything from right living to setting ambitious goals, optimizing generosity, and cultivating compassion. He has wisdom for career, relationships, parenting, and finances, and gives guidance for practical matters ranging from travel to troubleshooting.
In this conversation, we unpack:
How Kevin’s beliefs have changed his beliefs over time
Kevin’s perspective on success and external validation
Why we shouldn’t pursue being the best, but being the only
3 things Kevin would take with him into the afterlife
Why you should kill your darlings, and throw out work you’ve labored over
How Kevin would spend the next 10 years if he was 21 years old today
Learning how to be more compassionate towards people with views that we find abhorrent
Why we shouldn’t measure our lives with someone else’s ruler, and how to get better at that
