You have heard the expression "Blood is thicker than water?" Did you know that the ACTUAL expression is "The Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb"? This episode will delve into how to handle family relationships from the perspective of a Stoic. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

Perspective is everything. It helps bring the whole of the cosmos into a simple understandable state. It helps one overcome anything. So how do we tap into the right perspective? This is an intimate question that is unique to each individual. However, I will share what helps me in case it helps you. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

Life is tough...wars everywhere...so much hate speech...someone is probably on your case...overworking...groceries are expensive...so I spent some time meditating on how to find strength. Let me share with you what I identified. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

How do you prep for the future but live for the moment? This is today's great question and topic from pgdaq. A good question that comes up often as we are taught to live for the moment (one day at a time...) yet we are also taught to prep & save for the future...What the what? Come on in and listen to what our ancient Stoic guides have to say. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

Join me today as we swim together out of the murky waters. Thank you Nikki for inspiring today's episode. The question is how to get out of a funk, and the answer is easy...ish. Once we define what a funk is and where it is we want to go, the journey becomes much clearer and easy. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

Welp...life is kicking my butt...just like you. But what else can we do, but try and find the most virtuous foot in front of the other...one step at a time. I am unable to record videos at this time, nor can I continue my reading of the books (maybe next year) But for this season, I am going to do what I can, which is a short, unedited audio podcast (that's right...we're going back OLD SCHOOL to the first few seasons!). Today I am answering the question of how to quit smoking/vaping or any...

The pursuit of a tranquil life...let us conclude now that we have read through the chapters, what this all means for you (if anything) and how you can change your approach to life to better every aspect of it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

THIS IS THE CHAPTER YOU WANT. If there is one chapter you read from this book, this is it. How do you find tranquillity in this life? By having a why. How do you know what your purpose (or Why) is? By clearly identifying your necessities. Here we outline a step by step guide for identifying your purpose in life. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

We're wrapping up and concluding the general thoughts slowly. Today it is about philosophy and why the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom is the only way to freedom, joy and tranquillity. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

Thinking about the suffering of others and working towards their betterment is a sure fire source of joy in life. Last Chapter we spoke about why Loving thy neighbour is the only option and a great source of joy. This chapter we conclude and hammer it home: Seriously...Love Thy Neighbour! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

Here's the third Q&A of the season. We've got a few questions on motivation & perspective and one heavy topic like talking to 10 y/o about suicide. Join me for the third and last Q&A of the season, as we close up on the 100th episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

Who are you? You look in the mirror and say "I". You look at a picture of you from 10 years ago and say "I". Yet the two entities you are looking at are not the same. They do not look the same. They do not exist in the same moment of space-time. So who is "I"? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

This is the one many of you have been waiting for. What the heck do we do with our emotions? How can I possibly be anxiety free while I have these messed up thoughts and feelings within? Lend me your ear and let me tell you how I deal with it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

Why is life so hard? Why must everything be so difficult? Why do I feel like the universe is sometimes conspiring against me...all the time? These are universal questions that transcend all "differences" between us, and the answer is exactly what you think it is. There is no fair...or unfair. Life just is and the universe is thus. We have no say in the matter no matter how upset we are or how loud we yell. Accepting this, is the key to shaking the yolk of the human condition. --- Send in...

Come join me would you for a few minutes, give me your time and I promise you'll get a few chuckles and leave a better human being. --- Send in a voice message:...

Pursue goals with NO reservations and at ANY cost. Go GRAB the BULL by the horns. You get to your goal QUICKLY (preferably quicker than your competition) and you WILL find happiness. We've all been taught this garbage over and over again growing up at home, school and on TV. Today...this is a core pillar of your misery. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

If you can answer this problem, then you don't need to listen to this episode: Freewill...does it truly exist? Yes, you are choosing to read this. But science tells us everything is predetermined, hence formulas that can very accurately predict things. How do you reconcile these two? How can we have freewill, if we live in a world bound by universal rules that can be predicted? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

Neil Armstrong may be best known for his quote "One small step for man...", but his greatest contribution to posterity, in my opinion, is the attitude he practiced and preached after he came back from stepping on another celestial object and staring back at everything he ever knew: Life is a short term phenomenon. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message

See the world as it is...not as you see it. This is possibly the greatest trick the devil ever pulled (the fact that we don't even realize we're on the hedonic treadmill). We forget we are a small spec... unspecial in every way....and we freely throw false value judgments on everything. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andersonsilver/message
