83. You Need a Manifesto: How to Communicate Your Convictions

“If you’re not living life according to your own values, you're most likely living them according to someone else’s,” says Charlotte Burgess-Auburn. Burgess-Auburn is a designer, artist, educator, and the Director of Community at the Stanford d.school. With her recently published guide, You Need A Manifesto: How To Craft Your Convictions And Put Them To Work, she aims to help people identify their core values and then codify them to chart a course of meaning and purpose. “A manifesto is a statement of purpose and a script for action,” she says, “a navigation tool to help you find your way.” As she and Matt Abrahams discuss on this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, a personal manifesto can help us communicate our deepest values — first to ourselves, and then to the world. #podcast #thinkfasttalksmart
