Eat to Live, Don't Live to Eat: Molière’s Dietary Discipline

Description

In this episode, we reflect on French dramatist Molière’s timeless line: “One should eat to live, not live to eat.” What begins as a simple observation about appetite opens into a deeper meditation on desire, restraint, and the purposeful life. We explore how indulgence, whether in food or any other pleasure, can quietly take the reins of our days—and how reclaiming intention creates freedom, not deprivation. We'll examine not just what you consume, but what consumes you. 
I hope that you enjoy!
