Training for a passionate life/“What is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Are you living it out passionately?
“What is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Are you living it out passionately?
Isabel Allende describes what she has lost and gained with age, as well as how she is training to live passionately. After watching these Ted talks at:https://www.ted.com/talks/isabelle_allende_how_to_live_passionately_no_matter_your_age#t-385832 and https://www.ted.com/talks/steve_jobs_how_to_live_before_you_die reading chapters 9 and 12 in your textbook, and doing some outside research, respond to the following:
1. What are you doing to “train” for a passionately lived life?
2. What does the research say about how these aspects will affect your developmental outcomes (i.e., stagnation vs. generativity)?
3. What dots can you look back at and see how those dots have come together to form a plan for your life? What should that mean for how you approach life moving forward? What does research say about concepts like optimism and resilience? How do these dots of life experiences relate to those concepts?
