#1062 - Dave Evans - It’s time to rethink your entire life plan

Dave Evans is an entrepreneur, early Apple engineer, former Electronic Arts executive, Stanford lecturer, and author. How does someone genuinely find meaning in their life? We’re often told that when things feel empty, uncertain, or painful, the answer is to “find more meaning”. But what does that actually mean? Is meaning something we discover, like a hidden truth waiting to be uncovered? Or is it something we construct through choice, responsibility, and attention? Expect to learn what people actually mean when we’re talking about meaning, the problem people are actually trying to solve when they say they want meaning, how to engineer more meaning into your life, what the difference between the problem-solving world and the meaning-making world is, what the red herrings are in terms of meaning, why so many people become objectively successful and subjectively miserable and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: ⁠https://chriswillx.com/deals⁠ Get up to $350 off the Pod 5 at https://eightsleep.com/modernwisdom Get a free bottle of D3K2, an AG1 Welcome Kit, and more when you first subscribe at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT’s most popular flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Get up to $50 off the RP Hypertrophy App at https://rpstrength.com/modernwisdom - Get Dave Evans' new Book - 'How to Live A Meaningful Life' here: https://designingyourlife.link/how-to-live-a-meaningful-life/chris - Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: ⁠https://chriswillx.com/books⁠ Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: ⁠https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom⁠ Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: ⁠https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59⁠ #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: ⁠https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf⁠ #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: ⁠https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp⁠ - Get In Touch: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast⁠ Email: ⁠https://chriswillx.com/contact⁠ - Learn more about your ad choices.

Who Has the Power in Trump's White House?

It has been harder to get insight into the dynamics of President Trump’s White House this term compared with the first one, partly because there have been fewer leaks. But after the attack on Venezuela and the administration’s actions in Minneapolis, I’ve found myself wondering: How exactly is Trump making decisions? Who is he listening to? How does this White House work? Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer cover the Trump administration for The Atlantic and have written a series of big profiles on key figures in this administration. Parker previously won three Pulitzer Prizes for her reporting at The Washington Post. Mentioned: “The Wrath of Stephen Miller” by Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer “‘I Run the Country and the World’” by Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer “This Is the Real Reason Susie Wiles Talked to Me 11 Times” by Chris Whipple “Susie Wiles, JD Vance, and the “Junkyard Dogs”: The White House Chief of Staff on Trump’s Second Term (Part 1 of 2)” by Chris Whipple Book Recommendations: The Secret History by Donna Tartt Bel Canto by Ann Patchett Frankly, We Did Win This Election by Michael C.

Mnoštvo svjetova

Postoji mnoštvo svjetova. Ti drugi svjetovi isti su kao i naš svijet. Oni su konkretni kao što je konkretan ovaj svijet u kojemu mi živimo. Svaki taj svijet živi za sebe. U tim drugim svjetovima žive naši parnjaci, pojedinci koji su nam slični. U ovom svijetu ja pišem najavu za ovu emisiju, u drugom svijetu moj parnjak peca na rijeci. Je li ovo neobuzdana metafizička maštarija koja nema veze s ozbiljnom filozofijom? Ili je ovo jedna od najznačajnijih teza postavljenih u filozofiju u zadnjih nekoliko desetljeća? Saznajte u Occamovoj britvi. Naš je sugovornik doktor Dušan Dožudić sa zagrebačkog Instituta za filozofiju.

Veran Matić - novinar, ANEM, Fond B92 I Sto minuta buke 113

Ideja za Veranovo gostovanje postoji jako dugo i nekako je ispalo da je realizacija morala da sačeka trenutak kada je on još jednom meta broj 1 prorežimskih medija koji ga po nalogu vrha vlasti i državne bezbodnosti izlažu progonu i harangi. Ono što je manje opasno ali više poražavajuće je odnos dobrog dela demokratske javnosti koja se, bez truda da se valjano informiše, Verana odrekla zaboravljajući šta je sve uradio za ovo društvo tokom 90tih i 2000tih, kao i čime se bavio poslednjih desetak godina. Razgovor koji je važno poslušati jer Veran Matić zaslužuje veliko hvala i još veće izvini od “naše” strane.
