Explore the fundamental dimensions of human flourishing through this conference talk from the Aspen Ideas Festival that examines mattering and everyday creativity as essential components of well-being. Delve beyond conventional notions of success focused on external achievements and material gains to discover how these two intertwined practices create a powerful foundation for lives filled with connection, resilience, and purpose. Learn how the concepts of mattering—feeling valued and significant—and making—engaging in creative expression—work together to cultivate deeper fulfillment and meaning in daily life. Gain insights into practical approaches for integrating these often underestimated aspects of human experience into your personal and professional development, moving away from purely achievement-based definitions of success toward a more holistic understanding of what it truly means to thrive.
