Episode notes

I think people who are able to read things widely have the massive advantage in life that it prevents them from developing tunnel vision and you know overly identifying and dogmatically with a particular ideology or we are looking at things. I definitely cover a lot of different you know wisdom traditions and topics but some definitely familiar names for your listeners people like Mossamap Pigliucci, William B. Irvine. Also a lot of modern philosophy professors a couple that come to mind or Kieran Setia, Guy Cleary But I've really explored Buddhism, Confucianism, Epicureanism, Christianity, I mean many different wisdom traditions I think around 120 episodes or so in so. It's good I think

In this episode, I chat with J.W. Bertolotti host of the In Search of Wisdom podcast, and founder of the Perennial Leader Project. Josh was one of the speakers at our Stoicon-x Military event a few years ago. We’re both very active on Substack now, Josh at Perennial Meditations so I thought it would be a great opportunity to reconnect and chat about philosophy as a guide to life.
