Live life according to the idea of a mental mori

The podcast episode explores the concept of a mental mori - the idea that death is inevitable and we must live life accordingly. The episode begins with a quote from Tyler Creator, highlighting the importance of doing what makes us happy because ultimately, we are the ones who have to live with our decisions. The speaker emphasizes that we should not leave our life choices to the opinions of others, as we are the ones affected the most. Marcus Aurelius, one of the Stoics, is quoted to emphasize how we tend to value others' opinions more than our own happiness. Personal experiences and struggles are shared to illustrate the importance of choosing oneself and embracing a path that brings genuine happiness.
