Aspen Ideas to GoThe Question of HappinessFor centuries, people have tried to get to the bottom of what makes us happy. Recent studies show regular sex makes people happiest and commuting is when we’re most unhappy. And, happiness levels fluctuate throughout life. “Happiness follows a u-shaped curve,” says author and columnist David Brooks. “People are happier in their twenties. They typically decline and hit their bottom happiness category at age 47 and they tend to get happier as they get older.” These findings, though, may not tell the whole story. How does the consideration of purpose, meaning, and virtue change the definition of happiness? What can we lea...

Tamar Gendler, a former guest on Kelly Corrigan Wonders, wrote this exquisite eulogy for her father Everett. Everett was a brilliant man who was always ahead of his time and yet, in many ways, he was also behind. He enjoyed his meals at a leisurely pace, eschewed modern technology in favor of old-fashioned items and ways of doing things and published his first book at age 86. Everett was not only “ahead” and “behind”, he was also fully present - his life was filled with radical astonishment at the beauty of the world around him and those who inhabited it alongsid...

Education is integral to the preservation and dissemination of fine wine.

While the process and methods of education may change across these contexts due to differences in subject matter, social constraints, and evolving techniques, the fundamental "why" of education, which...

We might then find that deeply-held convictions that money or status or accolades are a reliable route to happiness aren't correct, and can then start to pursue the things that might really make us happier.

Social Science BitesJim Scott on ResistanceWhen Jim Scott mentions 'resistance,' this recovering political scientist isn't usually talking about grand symbolic statements or large-scale synchronized actions by thousands or more battling an oppressive state. He's often referring to daily actions by average people, often not acting in concert and perhaps not even seeing themselves as 'resisting' at all. The 'problem' with political scientists, he tells interviewer David Edmonds, in this Social Science Bites podcast, "is that when they're talking about resistance they're tending to talk about overt declarations – protests in the streets, marches, or potentially armed combat. What I've found is that th...
