Episode 3: Wisdom Conversations : Schopenhauer On Overthinking


Listen Later

Have you ever felt stuck in your own mind—like your thoughts are spiraling and there’s no way out? In this episode, we explore the silent, psychological trap of overthinking through the lens of Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy.

 

Join us for a deep, honest conversation about why overthinking feels so overwhelming, how it distorts our perception of reality, and why it often leads to indecision, anxiety, and self-sabotage. We unpack the three mental traps Schopenhauer warned about—the illusion of control, paralysis by analysis, and self-imposed misery—and how they quietly affect our daily lives.

 

You’ll hear real-life reflections, insights from Schopenhauer’s writings, and practical takeaways for freeing yourself from the loops of obsessive thought. Whether you’re an overthinker yourself or simply curious about how philosophy meets mental health, this episode is for you.

 

Listen in and learn how to stop thinking your way into suffering—and start reclaiming your mental clarity.
