Why Our Longing to Matter Drives and Divides Us

Season 2026 Episode 8088 | 17m 46s

What gives our lives meaning? Philosopher Rebecca Newberger Goldstein believes we are driven to leave our mark -- to matter. This deep-seated impulse may shape who we are and how we relate to others, and may even affect the tensions that arise between us. Goldstein sits down with Walter Isaacson to explore our need to matter and the way it guides our choices and our sense of purpose.
