Join us in this insightful episode of The Daily Vedantic, where we explore the profound wisdom of achieving peace in any conflict. Learn how conflicts often stem from selfishness and discover the transformative power of embracing wisdom over the desire to win. Drawing inspiration from cognitive scientist Dr. John Vervake, we unravel the dichotomy between the love of wisdom (phylo-sophia) and the love of winning (phylo-nikea). Explore practical steps to untie the knot of conflict, including acknowledging where the other person might be right and expressing the three atomically powerful words: "You're probably right." Experience the lasting impact of choosing harmony within yourself, creating blissful moments in every circumstance. Tune in to this episode and explore the path to peace in your daily life!
The Daily Vedantic is a daily podcast and YouTube channel dedicated to the timeless wisdom of the Upanishads (https://www.thedailyvedantic.co). Dating back to over 5,000 years ago, the source of nearly all Eastern Philosophy, and loved by Western giants from Emerson to Thoreau to Carl Jung and Alan Watts, studied daily by Joseph Campbell to Aldous Huxley to Arthur Schopenhauer and countless others, The Daily Vedantic aims to make this ancient philosophy as modern and accessible as it is simple, practical — and profound.
