Perennial Wisdom

Dr. Kelly Flanagan | Love is the Practice

Listen Later

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Kelly Flanagan (a returning guest on the show) and the author of True Companions, Loveable, and a forthcoming novel titled The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell. Kelly is a clinical psychologist by day, a writer by night, a consultant and speaker in my free time, and an ordinary human, husband, father, and friend in the midst of it all. You can learn more about Kelly’s work in the world at drkellyflanagan.com. 

In the conversation, Kelly and I discuss:

  • The importance of loving yourself
  • The role of self-acceptance
  • Letting go of control
  • Both/And thinking
  • Love and courage
  • Nietzsche’s concept of Amor Fati and much more
