Why is serendipity important in life?
Manage episode 375139293 series 3341547
As more and more of our lives become increasingly online, what happens to those chance encounters, moments of discovery, and unexpected but meaningful interactions with others – the serendipity of life?
You might think working remotely is easier and more productive. And maybe it is. You have control over your day. And as far as relationships go, let’s just text or maybe zoom. Less complicated. But are we losing something important? As messy as life can be, it’s the messiness that makes us human and gives meaning to our lives. A.I. is not messy.
So we’d like to replay this podcast from a year ago as we think it’s especially relevant today.
How vital is serendipity to your life?
