An ethicist's guide to living a good life | Ira Bedzow

This TED Talks Daily podcast features an interview with ethicist and rabbi Ira Bedzow, focusing on how to define and achieve personal purpose, overcome burnout, and live a more intentional life. Bedzow suggests a three-step process for defining purpose: 1) identifying what you want; 2) determining if you truly *want* what you want; and 3) strategizing effective achievement. He emphasizes distinguishing between urgent and important tasks, advocating for prioritizing activities aligned with core values over external validation. The interview concludes with an exercise to help listeners define themselves through activities rather than roles, promoting a more fulfilling and values-driven life.
