BETTER STORIES: LIVING THE ANTI-BORING
So there’s this thing about living life that everybody seems okay with today. It’s basically a residual effect that the majority of humans in North America seem to have settled into.
It’s a life that gets bored…
Not bored for an hour or so.
Bored for good.
Like, we take a job because it pays well and then eventually we find the same job miserable and meaningless and monotonous. Bored.
Or, we fall in love with the most amazing person and experience the wedding of our dreams only to find a few years later that our best years may be behind us. Bored.
The thing about boredom is it’s not how we are meant to live. We are meant for adventure. Designed for risk. Hard-wired for something better.
Better Stories is a new series of live events, talks, interviews, and experiences all crafted into a podcast designed for a revolution against the boredom that too often overshadows our humanity.
Join us for the first ever Better Stories event on Friday, October 20th from 6 – 8 pm at McNemar House in Buckhannon, WV. Bring a snack to share and we’ll provide the drinks.
