Happiness Is Cultivating Your Garden (with Dylan Bosman)

Episode Summary

I spoke with Dylan Bosman about a few of his favourite quotes. You can see the quotes below. Listen to the podcast to hear us talk about what they mean to us. "Happiness is cultivating your garden." Voltaire, a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher. "The meaning of life... sometimes, I think of a phrase I heard as a boy, a friend who said: life is like carrying a message from the child you were to the old man you will be. You have to make sure that this message is not lost along the way." From Human, a documentary from 2015. "The way Elon talks about it is that you always need to start off with the first principles of a problem. What are the physics of it? How much time will it take? There's this level of engineering and physics that you need to make judgements about what's possible and interesting. Elon is unusual in that he knows that, and he also knows business and organization and leadership and governmental issues." Larry Page, co-founder of Google.
