After centuries of human history, we're still contending with racism, sexism, terrorism, wars, famine and murders. Shouldn't we, as a society, be past these things? It's enough to make you wonder: are we getting better or worse? Harvard professor Steven Pinker, who's been named one of the world's most influential thinkers, has some thoughts on where we are and where we're heading.

For him, success is measured in spontaneity, experimentation and improvisation. See why he believes the same three ingredients are key to living a full and adventurous life.

Regina King is blossoming into the mega-star many always predicted this huge talent would become. Fresh off her big wins at the Oscars and Golden Globes, King talked to Growing Bolder about her pledge to challenge gender inequality in Hollywood and her powerful film, "If Beale Street Could Talk."

Elayne Boosler was an up-and-coming comedian alongside the likes of Jay Leno, Andy Kaufman and Larry David. She's since been named one of the 50 best standup comics of all time, and she says she learned a lot of life lessons as a woman trying to make her way in a male-dominated field. Find out how she overcame her self doubts and in the process, inspired a generation of women to pursue lives in comedy.
