The Best Podcast

Today‘s podcast comes with a different tone and feeling than most. I find myself in a bit of a down moment due to a series of things related to my health and other challenges present in my life. Instead of putting on a face, I wanted to talk about it openly with you all here. Thanks for listening and for your support. It means a lot to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

“Oftentimes strategy is a euphemism for stagnation.” This quote from Peter Thiel really got me thinking about how we use “strategy” and thinking as a substitute for the real action that life requires from us. Whether it be in our personal or professional lives, this comes up over and over again, which is why I wanted to discuss it here. I hope you find some value in what I share in this episode. As always, thanks for listening. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reading of my latest post on Substack, which I am particularly proud of writing. You can see it here: https://open.substack.com/pub/mbest/p/rethinking-us . I dig into the realities of our consciousness and pull back the curtain on some illusions we often believe without questioning. It’s a topic I consider to be really important to understand, hence me sharing this episode with my reasoning for why I think so. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

In today’s podcast, I look at happiness, well-being, and life satisfaction through Daniel Kahneman’s lens, which he discusses at length at the end of his book Thinking Fast and Slow. I find his perspective on these questions to be beautifully illustrated, well-informed, and grounded, so I wanted to take some time to share it with you here. I hope you find it insightful. Thank you for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast dives back into the insights of Daniel Kahneman. He astutely observed how drawn we are to the emotional peaks when making assessments of our well-being, ignoring the bulk of ordinary experiences we have along the way. I call attention to this insight and what I think it means for us here. I hope you find it useful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reading of my latest Substack post titled “Alcohol & Casual Sex: Secular Reasons To Do Things Religions Have Told Us To Do for Milennia” which you can see at https://www.mbest.substack.com . I hope you find the message I weave here to be a meaningful one to consider, whether you agree or disagree with my position. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is recorded in a hospital bed, as I find myself in another challenging situation related to my health. Making decisions alongside my wife about what to do in these heavy moments has led me to some important conclusions, which I wanted to take some time to talk about and share with you all here. I hope you find the message to be a valuable one! Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
