Description

Everything I build—whether it's a book, a business, a course, a field note, or a podcast—is another attempt to explore one question: what actually makes a good life?

I'm Evan Sutter, and this is Sutterfaction.

This is a podcast about the messy, complicated, fascinating business of being alive.

We’ll explore philosophy, psychology, happiness, ambition, work, relationships, leadership, culture, meaning and everything in between.

Because I don't think ambition is the enemy. And I don't think success and a good life are necessarily the same thing.

I'm interested in what happens in the space between them.

How do we build meaningful things without losing ourselves in the process? How do we stay curious, playful and connected while navigating uncertainty, responsibility, impermanence and all the ordinary chaos of being human?

Sutterfaction sits at the intersections of philosophy, psychology, society and culture, ethics, human flourishing, business, happiness and meaning—so we can avoid the unlived life and construct one worth living.

Let's get into it.

If you want to explore these ideas further, head to EvanSutter.com. You'll find the Field Notes, the Sutterfaction archive, my free book 42, and ways to work with me if you'd like to take the conversation further.

Until next time, keep thinking, keep questioning, and keep building a life worth living.
