Instead of rushing towards answers, try sitting with your questions

Part 1 of the TED Radio Hour episode Finding your bliss.

On Being host Krista Tippett has learned that clarity can't be forced. It grows when we let our questions guide us through the unknown, often toward surprises we weren't expecting.

About Krista Tippett

Krista Tippett is the founder and CEO of The On Being Project and host of the podcast On Being, which sits at the intersection of spirituality, science, creativity and the arts. Tippett has won a Peabody Award for her broadcasting.
