Unlocking The Good Life: Purpose, Progress, and Presence

In this episode of the Grant Spark Show, we seek to understand 'The Good Life,' its origins, evolution, and why so few people experience it fully.

From ancient Greek philosophy of Eudemonia to modern views of fulfillment and freedom, Grant offers insights into living a life of purpose, progress, and presence.

He discusses the traps of modern living, including the illusion of The Good Life marketed on social media and the lack of rewards for stillness in our current systems.
