Summary

During the lockdown, I have been thinking a lot about the different philosophies, especially Stoicism and Absurdism. In this episode, I broke down the 4 big philosophies: Stoicism, Existentialism, Nihilism, and Absurdism. I also talked about why I am adapting one of them and how that makes me happier! (To know more about Stoicism, Ryan Holiday, author, and he wrote a lot about it, make sure you check out all his book and his podcast.) My new book Skip The Line is out! Make sure you get a copy wherever you get your new book! Join You Should Run For President 2.0 Facebook Group, and we discuss why should run for president. I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!
