What Comes Next? | Facing Obstacles Life Throws Our Way

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.

Description
Chapters

It's been a rough couple of months so how are we dealing with the challenges in our lives?

In Episode #420 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: why you need to approach life like an ibex, Juan's main problem of trying to get off the hamster wheel, Ryan Holiday's theory of choice, why you are paradoxically not special at all but also super special and what we do to prepare ourselves for hard times.

Massive thanks to Dave Jones, Shutosha, Balderdash Boys, BTCessex, Oysteinberge, Sircussmedia, Cole McCormick, The Tone Wrecker, Juan, Petar & Borsen Gelaber for the support! Really picking up some steam and it's all thanks to you!
