From this videoconference talk from 4 January 2019, Ajahn Anan discusses avoiding fools and choosing the right path in life, among other topics.

An excerpt: "So then for the people who love to improve themselves, who love to have happiness in their lives, then it is necessary to establish one’s goal in the correct way first. From there, they go and search and look for the knowledge and skills or having the effort and perseverance to make sure that one gets to that correct goal in one’s life. Here, this is called establishing oneself rightly. It is one of the highest blessings out of the 38 in the Mangala Sutta."
