Imagine that you're about to die. You look back in your life and ask yourself a couple of questions. What did I spend most of my time actually doing? And I guess that's what I acted as if I valued. Do watching loads of sitcoms or spending half your life playing video games seem like a good investment at your time in retrospect? Only you can answer these questions for yourself but your perspective is probably going to shift.
Elliot Chung, a student at Phillips Academy Andover, interviewed me recently for his new Philosophy for the Modern Mind podcast, and we decided to share our conversation on this podcast as well. We talk in particular about how Stoicism could be of practical benefit to young people, and the challenges they face today.
