Description

How does a philosophy that's about "doing and nothing" and "wanting" nothing even enjoyable?


This week I wanted to offer some perspective that might help you better understand why there's so much hype around "Zen" philosophy.


This episode is for you if:



  • You feel like desperate optimism or "toxic positivity" is not doing your life any favors.


  • You've grown out of living out your ideals and want to fall in love with living an imperfect life.


  • You have a realist in your life and you want to better understand how to love/understand/work with them.
