  • Episode 469: Taking Yourself Seriously
    Today’s podcast is about the value of taking yourself seriously. There is plenty of value to not taking yourself seriously, but I would argue that value only manifests itself in some areas of life. In other areas of life, taking yourself seriously holds a lot of benefits, which I focus on and discuss here. I hope you find the content here to be insightful and meaningful. I appreciate you listening and engaging. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 468: Tension
    Today’s podcast is a reading of a recent writing, in which I reflected in the different emotional tensions I was experiencing. It wasn’t an easy reflection to go through, as you’ll see, but I think there are a lot of important things for me to think through in it. Perhaps you’ll relate and feel the same way. Perhaps not. Either way, I hope you enjoy it and find it to be a valuable listen. I appreciate you taking the time to tune in. It means a lot. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 467: Serenity
    I’m not a religious person, but the serenity prayer resonates with me tremendously. I’ve come to see its value both philosophically and in practice, and so much more importantly in practice, I will say. I wanted to take some time to talk about it today and the ways it has interacted with my current life circumstances. I hope that you enjoy the discussion and can find something to take away for your own life. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 466: Loneliness’s Consequences
    Today’s podcast stems from a recent conversation I had with my grandma, which led me to all sorts of important realizations and reflections.

Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 465: A Guided Reflection
    Today’s podcast is a guided reflection which I’ve come to think about over the last few days.

For this reason, I wanted to share it with you, as it may bring about the same effect. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be valuable. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 464: How Humility Makes Us Smarter
    Today’s podcast is about an important question that I think we should ask ourselves more often, which is this - “What might be wrong with my current view?” It’s not an easy question to ask ourselves, but it’s a tremendously valuable one. In the episode, I take some time to explain why. I hope you find this to be insightful and that you can incorporate it into your own thinking. Thanks for engaging with me. It never goes under appreciated. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

    Today’s podcast is a short reflection on a lot of thinking and experience. It’s a message I’ve taken for myself, which I hope remains with me over time. I hope the hiccups don’t deter you from engaging with the message I’m hoping to transmit. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 462: Organizing Our Knowledge
    Today’s podcast is a monologue about a habit of mine. I tend to take notes on a lot of things in life - whether it’s podcasts I’m listening to, random thoughts that come to mind, or books I’m reading. I’ve gotten into the habit of organizing those notes into what I call a “big picture” journal. I’ve come to learn that some great thinkers have done this before me and have done it much better than I have, like Thomas Jefferson and Ryan Holiday. This made me want to talk about what the habit has done for me and why I’d recommend it. I hope you find the discussion to be valuable and meaningful. As always, thanks so much for listening. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 461: Does Time Fly?
    Today’s podcast is a highlight of one of the most important lessons I’ve ever learned. Life does not pass us by, and it certainly does not fly by, if we learn to take the opportunity of experience that each moment provides. I discuss this learning in this episode, which I hope sticks with you. Thank you for listening and engaging with my content. It means a lot to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 460: The Importance of Statistics and Probability
    Today’s podcast stems from a conversation I had a couple of weeks ago about some data on COVID hospitalizations in Israel. On the face, it doesn’t seem so interesting. However, the lessons to be taken from this conversation and the way of thinking applied to it are really important for our public dialogue, understanding, and decision making. I hope you find the reflections I list here to be meaningful, valuable, and relevant in your life. I appreciate you listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
