107. Bucket Lists are Dumb

What if the problem with a bucket list isn't the list - but what's on it?
In this episode of Skipping Stones, Seth Roberts challenges the idea that a meaningful life is measured by exotic experiences, travel destinations, or stories that make us seem interesting.
Bucket lists can give us direction, but they can also become a substitute for purpose. The conversation explores the difference between collecting experiences and building a life that genuinely matters.
A few questions this episode wrestles with:
• Are we chasing meaning - or just novelty?
• What do people actually remember about us after we're gone?
• What if our biggest goals were focused on serving others instead of entertaining ourselves?
Adventure has its place. But a life well-lived may have less to do with where you've been and more to do with who you've helped along the way.
