Along with his mentor Socrates, and his student Aristotle, Plato is one of the most influential individuals in the entire history of humankind. It can even be said that he is one of the pillars of Western civilisation.

Plato invented the written dialogue and dialectic form of philosophy.

He didn’t believe our feelings were random or mysterious. Instead, he argued that they followed the same natural laws as everything else in the universe. He wrote his most famous work, Ethics, in the style of a geometry textbook in which he analyzed emotions like anger, fear, and love with logical definitions, propositions, and proofs. Because of this, Spinoza didn’t see happiness as a matter of luck, a fleeting emotion, or a reward from the universe. No. To him, happiness is the experience of increasing mental clarity. It’s the freedom that comes from no longer being confused by life, understanding how reality works, and gaining control over your own mind. This way of thinking is called Rationalism. It is the idea that reason and logic are the best tools for understanding the world. Instead of reacting to events or hoping things will get better, a Rationalist tries to understand why things happen. Spinoza believed that the more clearly we think about our experiences, the better we can understand our problems, learn from them, and avoid unnecessary suffering.

Born and raised in Tsarist Russia, Dostoevsky was heavily exposed to the misery and injustice characteristic of his time. Among his more marking experiences, he spent four years in a Siberian labour camp, went through compulsory military service in exile, and had to beg for money while in Western Europe due to his gambling addiction. And yet, despite his first-hand experience of misery and suffering, Dostoevsky remained hopeful and optimistic about what life is. He is considered to be one of the first writers to incorporate concepts of what we now know as existentialism. Dostoevsky’s works revolve around a few major themes like the meaning of life, the constancy of suffering, the divide between rationality and emotion, spirituality, and the various sides of the human condition.  Some of his well known novels and essays are Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot, and Notes from the Underground. Through his novels and essays, Dostoevsky tried to make sense of the suffering and misery around him, attempting to find meaning and hope even in the bleakest of times. His work represents a deep dive into human suffering, the evil surrounding us, and the problems caused by moral corruption and in each of the universes he created, he gave ways to escape the apparent  constant suffering and torment of his characters through moral virtue, love, compassion, and one’s own sense of meaning. His writings were heavily influential for the existentialist current of philosophy, representing sources of inspiration for other consecrated authors like Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean-Paul Sartre.

In 1571, right on his 38th birthday, he walked into his office and permanently resigned from his position as a judge in the Bordeaux parliament. It was exactly the kind of role Renaissance men spent their whole lives networking, scheming, and stressing out to get. He quit, moved back to his family's estate in the French countryside, and set himself up in a stone tower on the property. He built a massive library there and had 54 quotes from ancient philosophers carved into the wooden beams of his ceiling. From that point on, he spent his time studying the only subject he actually wanted to understand: himself. He observed his own habits, flaws, and everyday routines, and wrote down his thoughts about them and he called these writings Essais—which comes from the French word meaning "to try" or "to attempt" and is of course where we get the English word ‘essay’.

Where Lao Tzu spoke in short, poetic verses, Zhuangzi chose stories. His tales could be light, humorous, even absurd at times - but hidden inside them was a deep wisdom about how to live. In his book, also called Zhuangzi, he shows us that much of our suffering comes from holding on too tightly. To rigid ideas of right and wrong, to our need for control, to the seriousness with which we approach everything. His message is clear — true freedom comes from letting go. Letting go of labels, of narrow thinking, of the constant urge to prove ourselves. He invites us to live more lightly, to drift through life like a leaf on a stream. And when we do, we find a quieter, deeper kind of joy. But in today’s world, we’re pushed to move faster, to compete harder, to constantly chase the next goal. In that race, it’s easy to forget the simple lightness of being alive. Zhuangzi reminds us that life doesn’t always have to be a struggle. It can be playful. It can be free.

Today, "cynical" means being negative, but the original Cynics, named after the Greek word for “dog-like”, believing that happiness came from living "according to nature." This meant stripping away rules, status, and the material needs society forces on us today. He practiced this himself, famously living in a ceramic jar, eating simple lentils, and even throwing away his only bowl when he saw a child drinking from their hands. His radical freedom was put to the test when he was captured by pirates and sold at a slave auction. While other captives wept, Diogenes mocked the pirates for not "fattening him up" for a better price. On the auction block, when asked what he could do, he told the crowd: "I know how to govern men. Sell me to someone who needs a master." He pointed to a man named Xeniades and said, "Sell me to him." Xeniades was so intrigued that he bought him and eventually put him in charge of his house and his children’s education. Instead of teaching them to chase status, Diogenes taught them to wear plain clothes, walk barefoot, and value philosophy over wealth. Xeniades was so impressed he said, "A good spirit has entered my house." Diogenes spent the rest of his life proving that even in chains, if you want nothing from the world, the world has no power over you.

    Epicurus - How To Live Like A God On An Average Salary (Epicureanism). In this video we will be talking about How To Live Like A God On An Average Salary from the philosophy of Epicurus. His philosophy is often referenced as Epicurean hedonism or simply Epicureanism. So here are 5 ways to live like a God from the philosophy of Epicurus -  01. Categorize Your Desires02. The "Cheese" Principle03. Prioritize “Aponia” and “Ataraxia"04. Invest in your  "Garden" 05. Master the "Fear of Lack"I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope these 5 ways to live like a God from the philosophy of Epicurus will add value to your life. Epicurus is one of the most important figures in the history of philosophy, as well as of science. He is less known than Plato or Socrates, but, nonetheless, his teachings are precious and timeless. He lived between 341 to 270 BC, and wrote more than 300 works during his lifetime. Most of his work has been lost, but what remains is extremely relevant even today. In science, he was one of the first to describe the natural world as made of atoms and he rightly understood that all the natural phenomena are in fact based on the movement of atoms. Also, he strongly stressed the importance of basing our beliefs on empirical evidence and logic. In philosophy, he was part of the hedonist movement and he was most famous for his skilful insights into the concept of happiness, starting his own School of Happiness, also known as Epicurean hedonism or simply Epicureanism. If stoics believed that living justly and virtuously is the highest good and that we should be indifferent to pleasure and pain, Epicureanism believed that we should seek to maximise the pleasures in life. There were some rumours that in his school people lavished  themselves in orgies, luxury and decadence, but these rumours were unfounded. Epicurus didn’t have any interest in orgies and expensive meals. His idea of pleasure is far from the classical one. He departed from the classical school of hedonism for which pleasure is the highest good, adding that the pleasure of the mind, not the pleasure of the senses, is the true ‘highest good’. He believed that the greatest happiness comes from reducing suffering, achieving an inner state of peace which he called ataraxia. Ataraxia means being content with simple things in life, like having philosophical conversations about the meaning of life, in your small garden, with your best friends. According to Epicurus, the pleasure from pursuing wisdom is the highest form of pleasure, and the most valuable as it is the one that leads us to true happiness.

Albert Camus is one of the most representative figures of the philosophy of the “absurd” or “absurdism". The main theory of Camus is to embrace the absurdity of life as a simple fact, without falling into despair. This ability to embrace absurdity means to be free. According to Camus, there are 2 types of freedom: Common Freedom, defined as the ability to choose between different options - for example, whether to take a glass of water from the table or not -  and Absurd Freedom, the ability to live a life without meaning. For Camus, Absurd Freedom is true freedom. In a world without meaning, individuals can discover that they can do whatever they want, while still taking full responsibility for their actions. Without any legitimate pressure from other people, society and so on, we can learn to only follow our inner motivations and personal values. Reaffirming this power coming from such an inner freedom, we as individuals thus create our own meaning of life.So to help you understand how to be more free, we bring you 7 ways to live freely from the philosophy of Albert Camus:01. Believe in freedom 02. Fight for freedom 03. Be creative04. Act rebellious 05. Be free but lawful06. Acknowledge the negative sides of your freedom07. Use your freedom to improve yourselfI hope you enjoyed listening to these 7 ways you can be free from the philosophy of Albert Camus and find them helpful in your life. Albert Camus is one of the greatest French writers and thinkers. He was a philosopher, an author and a journalist. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 and his most famous works are The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall, and The Rebel. Camus is one of the most representative figures of the philosophy of the “absurd” or “absurdism,” which is a philosophical movement having as its central hypothesis that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe. Camus considered that absolute freedom must be balanced with absolute justice - too much freedom leads to the situation when the strong suppresses the weak but too much justice kills freedom, and we need to live and let live. As a promoter of the philosophy of the “absurd”, Camus believed that life has no meaning, that the universe simply exists and that it is indifferent to people’s lives. We are like Sisyphus from Greek mythology, forever carrying that heavy rock to the top of the hill, although we know the rock will always fall down and our life's work is meaningless. Our condition might be tragic, but Camus considered that this exact condition hides a blessing in disguise: life does not have a meaning, but we are free to attribute it any meaning we want. His philosophy has inspired a lot of  people in dealing with the absurdity of life and even today, his philosophy is extremely relevant.

  • 165: Why You Have a Toxic Relationship With Money (and how to heal) - Carl Jung 18.04.2026 20min
    Why You Have a Toxic Relationship With Money (and how to heal) - Carl JungCarl Jung was a Swiss psychologist who believed that the way you handle money—whether you’re hoarding it, wasting it, or terrified of it - is actually a mirror reflecting your deepest feelings about yourself. Jung famously said that until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it 'fate.' This is why you might keep hitting the same financial walls, make the same financial mistakes and blame it on bad luck or a bad economy. It feels like an invisible force is sabotaging your progress, making sure you stay stuck in the same spot no matter how hard you work.  In this video, we will explore how to identify these patterns and heal your relationship with money, all from the philosophy of Carl Jung.So here are 6 ways you could heal your relationship with money, all from the philosophy of Carl Jung01. See Money as Your Life Energy02. Identify your Financial Shadow03. Confront the "Money Complex"04. Find your archetype05. Use Active Imagination06. Withdrawing Your ProjectionsI hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope these 6 ways you could heal your relationship with money, all from the philosophy of Carl Jung will add value to your life.Carl Jung, together with Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, is one of the 3 founders of psychoanalysis which is a set of psychological theories and methods aiming to release repressed emotions and experiences - in other words, to make the unconscious conscious. Jung was born in Switzerland in 1875 and died in 1961, leaving behind great works in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology and religious studies. Jung had Freud as a mentor for a good part of his career but later he departed from him. This division was painful for Jung and it led him to found his own school of psychology, called analytical psychology as a comprehensive system separate from psychoanalysis. If classical psychoanalysis focuses on the patient’s past, as early experiences are very important in personality development, analytical psychology primarily focuses on the present, on mythology, folklore, and cultural experiences, to try to understand human consciousness. One of the most important ideas of analytical psychology which Jung founded is the process of individuation, which is the process of finding the self - something Jung considered an important task in human development. While he did not formulate a systematic philosophy, he is nonetheless considered a sophisticated philosopher - his school of thought dubbed “Jungian philosophy”. Its concepts can apply to many topics covered in the humanities and the social sciences. A good part of his work was published after his death and indeed there are still some articles written by him that to this day have yet to be published. Some of his most important books are: “Psychology of the Unconscious”, “Man and His Symbols”, “The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious”, “Modern Man In Search of a Soul”, “The Psychology of the Transference”, “Memories, Dreams, Thoughts”, and “The Relations Between the Ego and the Unconscious”. Besides being a great writer and a researcher, he was also an artist, a craftsman and even a builder. His contribution is enormous and there is a great deal we can learn from his works.
