i find myself so often just becoming quite cynical and thinking, you know, these ideas were spoken about by ancient philosophers. And the way that it's marketed sometimes doesn't help.

It's those, those ideas, not necessarily the way they're communicated, but they touch a a soft place, and inside that's right? There's something very interesting too, about why universal problems are the most feel like the most personal, and therefore the most embarrassing to talk about.
