More from Principle of Charity
This week, producer and host of The Overexamined Life podcast Jonah Primo, joins host Lloyd Vogelman on the couch for an unfiltered conversation that digs into the personal side of the Principle of Charity.
In this episode we’re keeping it in the family, as we’re joined by our very own, very talented producer, Jonah Primo. Jonah has spent many years studying mindfulness, meditation and philosophy which he channels into his own podcast, The Overexamined Life - so who better to help us reflect on self-reflection. We all know Socrates’ famous saying – the unexamined life is not worth living. But is it actually true? Does self-examination actually help us? And if so, in what way does it help? Do we end up happier, or just more aware of our limitations? And is there a point where it can do more harm than good? Maybe there’s value in a richer, more self-aware life, even if we’re not necessarily happier?
This week, sleep expert Dr Rubin Naiman, and positive leadership expert Sue Langley, join host Lloyd Vogelman on the couch for an unfiltered conversation that digs into the personal side of the Principle of Charity.
We hope to live a life filled with joy, excitement, contentment, purpose, love, meaning and transcendence. Whereas sadness, pain, grief, loneliness, anger, jealousy and anxiety, aren’t so much fun. And when things take a turn for the worst, we can fall into a number of clinical disorders, including depression, which are sadly all too prevalent.
This week the Honorable Dr Andrew Leigh MP, and philosopher Peter Singer, join host Lloyd Vogelman on the couch for an unfiltered conversation that digs into the personal side of the Principle of Charity.
