About this episode
Academy Awards, Blue Zones, and Living a Life of Purpose. Can winning an Academy Award add years to your life? Dan Buettner and Laura Dern dive into a surprising study that suggests it can. Laura shares her unique perspective on success, stress, and the difference between an award and a true accomplishment. She opens up about growing up in a famous family and the lessons her parents, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd, taught her about the love of the craft over fame or money. Join us for a candid conversation about what truly propels us, the power of quiet, and the search for meaningful connection.
