I am Stupid episodes

  • 60. Man's Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl

    Viktor Frankl is the psychotherapist who developed Logotherapy after surviving Auschwitz under the Nazi's


    I first read this book years ago and so many things resonated, it really helped me at that time and I was inspired to study at his school, from which I now have an accreditation. Frankl is the first person I know of to articulate the connection between meaning and suffering with such a robust philosophy.

  • 54. Narrative Therapy

    Book review on "Narrative Therapy" by Freedman and Combs.

    Fascinating to discover that there is a prevalent segment of therapists who use these concepts which are so highly in line with metaphysical idealism. Definitely encouraging as I consider a career transition into the therapy/coaching space.

    Here I wrestle with interpretations of the afterlife and also talk a bit about the personal career/mindset transition I've been going through.

    I was largely inspired to explore these topics due to the works of John Burke, namely his book Imagine Heaven.

About I am Stupid

From the publisher's feed

Embrace humility by seeing the paradoxes inherent to human nature. Overcome nihilism and doomerism with an understanding of philosophical idealism. This framing requires fewer assumptions than standard physicalism/materialism, and provides more intuitive insight into some of life's greatest mysteries. Why is humility so important? Why is utopianism so dubious? Let's explore the limits of consciousness and learn to take back sovereignty of our story and our soul.
