Fixing A Lie: Using Effective Philosophy & Thinking Long-Term

What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

Chapters

We are bringing back our creation of Effective Philosophy© to solve a recent lie that I told.

In Episode #309 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: Brendan highlighting our recent shift away from philosophy, Juan's recent book review, why I lied about the details of car switching within my family, why lies that effect reality are the ones that really need fixing, Juan's recent thoughts on adopting a longer term outlook, the paradox of life always changing and why hypotheticals aren't always helpful.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
