Why does modern convenience make us miserable and how can we choose discomfort?
Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi examine why modern convenience leaves us miserable despite giving us everything we thought we wanted, and they argue from three different angles about what we've actually lost and how to get it back. You'll hear why removing all friction from life makes you weaker, not happier, and what happens when you deliberately choose to wait instead of reaching for the easy thing. The episode ends with one concrete practice: delay one automatic comfort tomorrow by twenty minutes and notice that the discomfort itself is where your actual freedom lives.
