Here’s a scary fact about adulthood. We stop asking questions. We lose the playful curiosity and creativity that we had as children. And it’s a shame. Questions are gateways to our deepest desires, insecurities and dreams. Reflecting on a deep question takes us one step closer to a life well-lived. Each week, we’ll ponder and debate one of life’s thorniest questions. We’ll explore ambition, careers, money, relationships, productivity and psychology — all in the pursuit of living an Examined Life.

From remote software engineers to newsletter writers, the future isn't about less work, it's about having the freedom to choose how we spend our time. [Episode 88] Elle Griffin is the founder of the media cooperative The Elysian.
