About this listen

Why do we believe a good life is a life without pain? This episode challenges our deepest assumptions about happiness and hardship. We're diving into the philosophical goldmine that is the value of suffering—not to glorify pain, but to understand its incredible power to forge growth, wisdom, and meaning. From the ancient Stoics to modern psychology, we'll explore how embracing life's inevitable challenges can transform us, deepen our connections, and turn our scars into a source of incredible strength. Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about your own struggles.
