Description

Everyone is chasing more... more money, more success, more status. But what if, as William Blake said, “more, more is the cry of the mistaken soul”?

In this powerful conversation, psychotherapist and author Mark Vernon joins Jack Frimston and Zac Thompson to explore why so many of us never feel like we have done enough, and how Stoicism, philosophy, and spiritual intelligence can help us break free from the treadmill of modern life.

We cover:
✅ Why Stoicism surged during the pandemic
✅ How breakdowns often spark spiritual awakenings
✅ William Blake’s warning about endless accumulation
✅ The role of myths, stories, and religion in shaping meaning
✅ Whether free will actually exists (and why it matters)
✅ Practical first steps if you are feeling lost or burnt out

If you have ever asked yourself, “When will enough be enough?” this episode is for you.
