    I recently discovered Jon's meditations and use them constantly to remind myself that we can only control so much. Highly recommend and Jon's lovely Welsh accent doesn't hurt!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are Stoics Emotionless? Erick Cloward, Author of Stoicism 101
Q: What are some practical stoic techniques listeners can try when they're overwhelmed?
Two practical techniques are the view-from-above to reframe problems and morfot (love your fate) to accept reality, which reduces emotional reactivity and helps focus on constructive next steps.
Dan Munro’s Guide to Overcoming the Validation Addiction
Q: What does a combination of honesty and kindness look like?
Being nice means being honest while respecting others' feelings, without manipulative behavior. It's about finding a balance in expressing oneself authentically.
Dan Munro’s Guide to Overcoming the Validation Addiction
Q: What are some of the benefits that people can expect from living a life with more honesty?
Living honestly can free individuals from shame, improve self-worth, and lead to genuine connections, even if it requires confronting uncomfortable situations initially.
Dan Munro’s Guide to Overcoming the Validation Addiction
Q: Why would someone need to read a book on honesty if it's such an obvious truth that were brought up to believe that it's good?
The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that we are already honest, but we often receive contradictory messaging about honesty, which can lead to self-deception.
Can Science Explain Spiritual Experience? With Steve Taylor
Q: What do you think the psychological mechanism is for experiencing awakening after trauma?
Psychological turmoil can collapse the normal structures of consciousness, allowing glimpses of a heightened reality.
