Listen Later

This episode reflects on the liberating power of simplicity through the lens of Seneca’s Stoic philosophy. In a culture that constantly equates happiness with owning more, it invites you to question whether accumulation truly leads to fulfillment or quietly steals your time, energy, and peace.
