Episode #20! In this episode we discuss the Stoic idea of loving your fate or as Nietzsche (however you pronounce his name) would put it Amor Fati. 

We dissect his quote: "My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity.” And ask the obvious question, is Pollyanna his idea of greatness? 

We break down the definition of Amor Fati. What is fate exactly? And how should you love it? Like your mom? Your Girlfriend? And if you are loving your fate does that mean you are complacent about how life is as it happens? 

Then we get into forrest bathing and it's benefits (don't worry, it's not what you think haha.) And we take you on your very own audio forrest bath experience. 

You won't want to miss it!
