I find that when I talk to peers and again people in my generation nobody's really super interested in philosophy. They think it is very theoretical and just like the past time of scholars right. So why do you think that people are willing to like accept therapy in order to better their lives but they don't look at practical philosophy as much? There's something odd about CBT that part of the success of cognitive therapy is that it became unlike Freudian and other earlier therapies which could go on indefinitely.
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.
