Kevin Kelly, Co-Founder of Wired, Talks Life Advice, Technology, AI, and Optimism as a Skill

New York Times bestselling author Kevin Kelly has led a fascinating and remarkable life and has been ahead of the curve on practically everything he has done. He is the founding executive editor of Wired magazine, and a former editor/publisher of Whole Earth Review, as well as having been a writer, photographer, conservationist, and student of Asian and digital culture. His latest book, EXCELLENT ADVICE FOR LIVING: Wisdom I Wish I’d Known Earlier, is his most personal book yet.  On his 68th birthday, Kelly started to write down for his young adult children advice he had learned about life from experience and his travels that he wished he had known earlier. It’s a collection of his life’s wisdom gathered over the years since, from setting ambitious goals to optimizing generosity to cultivating compassion. Kelly shares compact but profound tips for career, relationships, parenting, and finances, and gives guidance for practical matters from travel to troubleshooting— and much more.  To learn more you can visit: https://kk.org or follow along on instagram @kevin2kelly If you would like to work with us and receive a free health coaching consultation-- get in touch at courageouswellness.net or email [email protected] or [email protected]  Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review Courageous Wellness!
