181: Tim Shriver: Living Life for Others
Manage episode 448912913 series 2687298
On social media and the news, the narrative told about humanity is often one of violence, division, and dehumanization. But is that really who we are?
Tim Shriver, best-selling author and chairman of the Special Olympics, doesn’t think so. “My view,” he says, “is that the versions of our lives that most of us lead most days are much more hopeful.”
As the nephew of John F. Kennedy, Tim has known great privilege and great grief. As an educator and social worker, he has seen the countless ways that humans defy stereotypes and give grace and hope to one another. In this episode, he talks about why his life and career have led him to the conclusion that the key to a happy life is to live it for the flourishing of others.
