Memorable Quotes from the Episode:

[00:36:55-00:36:55] "... I know that's sort of like a pithy answer, but it's the truth. Our thoughts shape our reality. This is a very fundamental idea and concept from many, many, many, many philosophers across the millennia. We shape the circumstances in our lives just by the way that we look at them."

[00:23:14-00:23:16] "Philosophy s not just about thinking, it's about acting and acting appropriately. And so all those four things, you know, the perception of the truth and the truth. Managing your thoughts being deliberate and acting accordingly. Wisdom is the word for all of that."

[00:14:24] How did you get into into philosophy?

[00:15:41-00:15:41] Why is it that philosophy and wisdom [they] get lumped into these categories of being like "Woo Woo" out there? Why do you think that is?

[00:26:26] Talk to us about clarity as discussed in your book.

[00:28:52] Did you encounter any struggles when you're first trying to think in this way? I guess almost like metacognition, thinking about the way you're thinking and forcing yourself to answer these questions? Was that a bit of a challenge for you? And how did you overcome that?

[00:36:15] How can we help ourselves find out when we're having those detrimental thoughts and natural way back into something more productive, right?

[00:56:02] Is wisdom a trait that can be cultivated?
