The only things truly yours are those that are entirely up to you. Everything else is on loan from the universe.
Ever wondered what it means to truly own something in life? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles sits down with Professor Massimo Pigliucci, the brilliant mind behind 'A Field Guide To A Happy Life: 53 Brief Lessons For Living'. With a PhD in Evolutionary Biology and Philosophy, Professor Pigliucci brings a unique blend of scientific rigor and philosophical wisdom to the table.
Their conversation dives into the core principles of Stoicism, a philosophy that might just hold the keys to a more content and meaningful life. Professor Pigliucci shares his thoughts on the Stoic idea that the only things we truly own are those that are entirely within our control—everything else is merely borrowed from the universe. This intriguing perspective can be a game-changer for anyone grappling with life's uncertainties.
They also discuss the importance of self-reflection and knowing oneself as essential tools for happiness. Ever felt overwhelmed by things outside your control? This episode might help you see things in a new light. The chat also touches on some profound topics like the limitations of human knowledge and why recognizing our own mortality can actually enrich our lives. Pigliucci's insights are not just theoretical; they offer practical advice that you can start applying today.
Whether you're new to Stoicism or have been exploring it for years, this episode promises to offer valuable takeaways. So, if you're looking for ways to navigate life's ups and downs with more grace and less stress, tune in. Valeria and Professor Pigliucci make Stoicism accessible and relevant to our modern lives, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on a quest for well-being.
