Carl Jung: Unpacking the Insights
You’re not dreaming: finally, an in-depth conversation with Carl Jung, the father of analytic psychology, about the vast and varied power of the unconscious mind (personal and collective). As you’ll hear from the source, Jung’s psychological theories never get old; not only did he introduce terms you hear in today’s casual conversation (like “introvert” and “extrovert”), but he also influenced popular personality assessments, like the Myers-Briggs test.

Marcus Aurelius: Unpacking the Insights
Tom and Dorion reveal themselves to be the ultimate Marcus Aurelius stans as they review their conversation with the ever-popular Stoic philosopher. You’ll probably agree our world would be much better off if our leaders had even one iota of Aurelius’ character — and philosophy.

Marcus Aurelius: The stoic emperor and the art of living a virtuous life.
We’d say Marcus Aurelius was a rock star philosopher, but that would fly in the face of what being a Stoic is all about. Imagine being the most powerful person in the world yet taking time every night to jot notes to yourself about how to be a better person. That’s the kind of guy Aurelius was, and it’s also why his wisdom on navigating life’s complexities is as relevant to this day as they were in his time — and clearly something to, well, meditate on.

Nietzsche: Exploring the brilliant mind of the controversial philosopher
You'd think a declaration like "God is dead!" would be a mic drop, but Nietzsche has so much more to say about not just that cancel-culture baiting statement but also “The Will to Power,” the “Übermensch,” and other ideas the herd gets so terribly and, at times, catastrophically wrong. You don't have to be a nihilist to enjoy our existential conversation with Friedrich Nietzsche.
