Hobbies: why are they important? |#279
Manage episode 404629419 series 2613758
When we think about what constitutes human flourishing, we usually think about family and vocation. But this leaves out an important source of meaning in our lives: our hobbies. What is a hobby anyway, and why so many of us consider them so important? Are there any features that make some activities better suited to be hobbies than others? Is our society getting better or worse at having hobbies?
Join the Gwartney team for a discussion about one of life's under-analyzed pleasures: the noble hobby.
