Summary

For this new series, John and Allen invite five guests over five weeks to complete the following statement: “I just don’t understand how people can survive without...” Sam Eldredge kicks off the opening episode with a surprising response. Sam is a licensed therapist, the director of Noble Workshops, and John’s oldest son. You’ll be intrigued by his insights into the human condition and the one thing he believes we most need to make it through the day.
Show Notes: To find out more about Noble Workshops and upcoming events, visit nobleworkshops.com. The movie John references is Sing Sing. Sam’s media recommendations include Gustav Holst’s The Planets, “Jupiter”; Jensen McRae’s song “My Ego Dies at the End”; William Shakespeare’s The Tempest; the movie Arrival; the book The Anxious Generation, by Jonathan Haidt; the quote from Simone Weil (“There are only two things that pierce the human heart. One is beauty. The other is affliction.“); and the poem “The Peace of Wild Things,” by Wendell Berry.
