What's Worth Doing? (and Other Essential Questions)

Digging into the foundational questions of Life Worth Living with TV and podcast host Kelly Corrigan.

Listen on

"Your life is too important to be guided by anything less than what matters most."

Part 1 of a 5-part book club series on Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most, hosted by Kelly Corrigan. Written by Miroslav Volf, Matt Croasmun, and Ryan McAnnally-Linz, the book is based on a Yale College course that takes up some of the most pressing questions of life, but doesn’t keep the implications, challenges, confusion, perplexity, and demands of those questions at arms length.

Both the course and the book invite life-long learners to ask, “For any idea, if that idea were true, how would your life have to change?”

Later in the series, Kelly is joined by Kate Bowler—host of the Everything Happens podcast and Associate Professor of American Religious History at Duke Divinity School—and actress Claire Danes of the Showtime series Homeland and the '90s MTV series My So-Called Life.

This series is produced and hosted by Kelly Corrigan and was originally featured on the Kelly Corrigan Wonders podcast and Kate Bowler's Everything Happens podcast.

Welcome to the Kelly Corrigan Wonders “Life Worth Living” Book Club. This is the opening episode, where Kelly and the authors dig into the key questions driving this series: what’s worth doing, who are we responsible to, how should life feel, how should we deal with failures, and what can keep our values and our behavior aligned? Share this with the readers and thinkers in your life. The more people having this conversation, the better for all of us.
