Why craft matters now more than ever | Jonathan Fields | TEDxBoulder

"In a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence and endless digital scrolling, are we losing something vital? Join author, Good Life Project podcast host, entrepreneur, and lifelong maker, Jonathan Fields, as he unpacks a profound truth: the act of making with our hands isn't just a hobby, it's a powerful act of reclamation. An antidote to a screen-based existence, and a pathway to deep personal awakening.

From a mysterious childhood briefcase to building guitars and beyond, Jonathan shares a deeply personal journey that reveals why craft, creativity, and the tangible act of creation are more crucial than ever for our well-being, sense of purpose, and human connection. Discover how the process of making shapes us, teaches us resilience, and offers a sanctuary in a chaotic, AI-centric world.

This isn't a debate about AI's utility. It's an urgent call to remember what truly makes us feel alive, to reimagine your relationship with technology, your hands, and your own inherent maker's soul." Jonathan Fields is a dad, husband, award-winning and bestselling author of six books, co-executive producer and host of the top-ranked Good Life Project® podcast, which has been listened to and viewed more than 100-million times. Through his Awake at the Wheel Substack newsletter, he helps you feel more alive and less alone.

Jonathan is also the founder of a series of companies focused on human potential, currently serving as CEO of Spark Endeavors, where he developed the Sparketype® Assessment, which has been tapped by over 1-million individuals and organizations to identify and pursue work that reconnects you with purpose, possibility, and joy.

He is also a lifelong maker of everything from businesses, experiences, books, and brands to paintings, prints, mixed-media art, acoustic guitars, metalwork, tables, and beyond.
