181: The Politics of Selfishness - Kate Christie

The Politics of Everything

If you have never heard of the term “bucket list”, it is a list of all the goals you want to achieve, dreams you want to fulfill, and life experiences you wish to experience before you leave this earth. Most of have seen that 2007 film with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholas to get the gist.

My guest today wants us, and especially any women, to embrace a “life list” while you’re still younger rather than older.

After losing her former life partner to cancer and seeing her kids move on as young adults, Kate Christie was faced her own mid-life realisation - life is too short. So she authored The Life List: Master Every Moment and Live an Audacious Life, where she takes what she knows as a time management and lays bare how to create the concept of a “life list”: a list of everything she wanted to do and be while she was still young enough to enjoy it. Written for women who know they deserve more, this step-by-step guide shows exactly how to create and implement your own Life List of experiences and goals across your relationships, health and wellbeing, lifestyle, wealth, travel and more.

Kate is also an inspirational global speaker, and sought-after media commentator. Kate helps her clients (including L’Oreal, KPMG, Westpac) find the time. Kate will help you take the next step in your relationship with time — designing and living your perfect life. Her previous books include Me First: The Guilt-Free Guide to Prioritising You.

In this show, Kate shares:

1. How do you view the balancing act of selfishness vs selflessness, and what role do you think it plays in creating a life you design for yourself sooner?

2. Do women and men create different ways to define happiness in your experience?

3. The idea of a bucket list seems to be grounded in a later life idea – and you book is called The Life List. You have experienced the loss of someone you had partnered with, so did this change that view and how?

4. What do every day momentous events look like beyond the obvious ones like sailing down the Nile or having a party with all your closest friends?

5. Does being selfish – and making sure your health and wellbeing are at the top of your list- have an advantage at times and what makes you think this way? Is selflessness overrated?

6. Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us on The Politics of Selfishness?
