Searching for paradise
50 min
This week, TED Radio Hour explores what paradise means to different people and places around the world. The episode examines how our definitions of an ideal life—whether rooted in nature, community, or personal freedom—shape the choices we make and the futures we build. Guests investigate both the appeal and the reality of paradise, asking whether our visions of perfection can ever truly be found or if the search itself is what matters most.
