- The Chief End of Man is... Self-Actualization?
If I am constantly evolving, never the same, and can be anything I want, what even am I? Is there even an "I" that exists? In this episode, I discuss where we derive our meaning, what our lives are for and the practical application of these concepts to mental health and therapy.

My guest hospice chaplain and pastor, Krag Runzi, relates his experience of ministering to those in the process of dying, explores the value of life and reflects on the tragedy of euthanasia.
