How do you want to be remembered? Take a moment for self-reflection: Are you taking steps to embody empathy, kindness, and playfulness? I invite you all to try this powerful challenge of writing your own eulogy. This is your chance to write the end of your story, by focusing on the things that matter most to you. Every action counts towards being the person you want to be remembered as. 🎥: Aspen Ideas Festival 🎤: Nicholas St. Fleur

Perspective, identity, history, commodity, race — these are just a few of the issues conceptual artist Hank Thomas Thomas explores through his work. He’s the 2024 The Aspen Institute Harman/Eisner Artist in Residence, and we were thrilled to host two of his artworks at this year’s Aspen Ideas Festival. We caught up with him about how art helps him make sense of the world, what lessons he’s learned from his mother — the prolific photographer Deborah Willis — and why it’s helpful to think of politicians as designers. https://lnkd.in/gEcjQsez

This week on Aspen Ideas To Go: Nick Kristof in conversation with Kelly Corrigan. “Side by side with the worst of humanity, you always find the very best,” says The New York Times columnist Nick Kristof. He’s spent decades reporting on the ground in war zones and amidst humanitarian nightmares. Despite witnessing atrocities like the Tiananmen Square protests, genocide in Darfur and war in Iraq, Kristof maintains a deep and abiding faith in humankind. In his latest book, a memoir called “Chasing Hope: A Reporter’s Life,” he explains what he’s learned about the pursuit of truth and the power of journalism. Podcast and TV host Kelly Corrigan interviews Kristof about his path from a small rural town in Oregon to a career that has taken him to every corner of the world. https://lnkd.in/gV7kkMkr

Summer is a great time to spend extra time with family and friends, but also to invest in your own learning and growth. Attending Aspen Ideas was just what I needed to recharge and inspire me. All of my passion topics in one place: genomics revolution and impact on healthcare, mental health awareness and support, aging and longevity, healthcare workforce challenges and expenses, violence prevention, digital health, reproductive rights and freedom. It was difficult to choose which session to attend... Grateful for all who shared their time and expertise. #AspenIdeas #AspenIdeasHealth
