Dr. Frederik G. Pferdt challenges the idea of an average day using the German concept of Alltag. He asks a stark question: Is today a good day to die? Not to dwell on death, but to wake up to what actually matters and how alive you are right now.

There is no such thing as an average day. You know, in German there's a word for the average day: Alltag. And we use it all the time, and I want to talk a little bit about it. Not a comfortable question, but an honest one, a very personal one: Is today a good day to die? Take a second. And I'm not being dramatic. I'm not talking about death, really. I'm talking about aliveness. Because when you ask that question honestly, you suddenly notice what matters.
