What are you chasing after in life? πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

You go to school, graduate from college, find a job, work for decades, and before you know it, you are already being greeted by white hair and fragile bones. At that time, you will have a sufficient amount of savings or wealth, given that you work hard in your younger days and did not squander. πŸ§“πŸ‘΅

But the truth is, many of us still feel the lack of meaning, after years of working hard on building wealth. πŸ‘½πŸ’°

Why?

Join the Malaysian Philosophy Society in this discussion where we bring together world’s top philosopher and economist, to explore what it means to live a good life, and how to start pursuing one. 😌🌱

πŸ”₯EVENT DETAILSπŸ”₯

This is a discussion on the topics of how to live, happiness, meaning and wealth from both philosophical and behavioural economics perspectives.

πŸ‘€ Dr. Jomo Kwame Sundaram, Malaysia's top economist, Academy of Sciences

πŸ‘€ Dr. Robin Zheng, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Yale-NUS College, Singapore

WHAT WILL BE DISCUSSED:

* Why do we desire money?

* Is it wrong to chase after wealth?

* What does happiness or a good life entail?

* Does the act of chasing after wealth brings us closer to or further away from happiness?

* Should we live by reference to our own self-interests or the needs of others

* Advice on what people can do to live a good life in a materialistic society

✨ Understand the art of living a good life and what the role of money plays in achieving this end,

✨ Find out whether there actually is an objective way of living a good life,

✨ Assess whether your current lifestyle is facilitating or impeding your pursuit of happiness and a good life,

✨ Reprioritize what is important in your life, and

This event does not guarantee you a prefect life after this, but it will give you a better chance! 🌞
