We are Asher and Robert, hosts of the podcast Learning To Live (LTL). Each episode breaks down different schools of thought across health, performance, philosophy, and personal development to understand what actually works. Our goal is to demystify the black box of “fulfillment” by actively implementing what we learn into our own lives, and sharing the results honestly, regardless of outcome. As two guys in our early 20’s, we don’t have the answers, but through self-experimentation, research, and conversation, we hope to document our authentic struggle and progress.

  1. The Ancient Code for Becoming a Better Person

    The Ancient Code for Becoming a Better Person

    Most of us know the kind of person we want to become, but actually living that way is much harder. What if the answer isn't another productivity system or life hack, but a 2,000-year-old philosophy? In this episode of Learning To Live, we explore the four core virtues of Stoicism: Wisdom, Courage, Temperance, and Justice. We discuss how they provide a practical framework for making better decisions, handling adversity, and living with greater intention. We also share the Stoic challenge we'll be implementing in our own lives to see whether these ancient ideas still hold up today. We hope you enjoy!

    Why You're Using Suffering Wrong

    Most of us spend our lives trying to avoid suffering, but what if that's exactly the wrong approach? In this episode of Learning To Live, we explore one of Stoicism's most misunderstood ideas: suffering isn't something to eliminate, it's something to use. We discuss how discomfort can become a tool for growth, why resistance often creates more pain than the hardship itself, and how ancient Stoic principles can help us become more resilient in everyday life. #Stoicism #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth #MentalStrength #Philosophy #Resilience #Mindset #Discipline #GrowthMindset #LearningToLive

    The Truth About The Japanese Secret To Fulfillment

    We picked up Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life because it had thousands of five-star reviews and a pretty cover. We are going to deliver our honest thoughts and criticisms on this book as we try to find what is useful, and what is filler. In this episode of Learning To Live, we break down what ikigai actually is, why the book fails to deliver on its promise, and what the Blue Zones research actually tells us about longevity and fulfillment. We also get into the broader environmental issue facing people today, and our ideas on the first steps to make impactful change. We hope you enjoy!

  5. Go To Sleep! Don't Listen To This Episode

    Go To Sleep! Don't Listen To This Episode

    This episode, we're breaking down Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. Walker makes a pretty compelling case that sleep isn't just one of the health pillars, it's the foundation everything else is built on. We break down the most eye-opening stats and ideas from the book, including what drowsy driving actually costs, why alcohol is so much worse for sleep than people think, and what's really happening in your brain when you wake up and suddenly "get" a skill you were struggling with the night before. We also get real about where we've been falling short. After a month of tracking, our sleep scores, consistency numbers, restorative sleep, HRV, and recovery are all on the table and most of them are not pretty. From social jet lag on the weekends to rooms that are too warm and too bright, we get into the actual reasons our sleep isn't where it needs to be. We also spend some time on our honest takes about the book itself, including where we think Walker overstates the science. That brings us to the sleep challenge. Rigid bedtimes, consistent wake-up times, and Walker's 12 rules of sleep hygiene. Our goal: three consecutive nights of 100% sleep on the Whoop. If you're someone who's been brushing off your sleep, this one's for you. Subscribe and give it a like if you enjoyed, thanks for watching!

  6. A Message To Our Future Selves

    ١ يونيو

    A Message To Our Future Selves

    In Episode 14 of Learning to Live, we record a message to our future selves. Will this podcast still exist in 1 year? 5 years? 10 years? We make predictions about our future careers, relationships, fitness, finances, YouTube growth, and what our daily lives might look like in 2036. Some of these predictions are wildly optimistic. Some are probably completely wrong. But that's the point. This episode became an unexpected reflection on ambition, uncertainty, sacrifice, and what it means to pursue a dream when there are absolutely no guarantees it will work. Along the way we discuss: • Our predictions for the podcast's future • Subscriber and episode count guesses for 1, 5, and 10 years • What we're sacrificing in our early 20s to build something meaningful • The loneliness of post-college life • Fitness goals, personal challenges, and future aspirations • Marriage, family, career, and where we hope life takes us • The skills we want to learn before we're 33 • Our biggest fears about the future Whether you're building something yourself, feeling uncertain about where life is headed, or just curious what two twenty-somethings think their future holds, this episode is for you. The real question is: when we watch this back in 2036... how much of it will come true? #LearningToLive #SelfImprovement #FutureSelf #PersonalGrowth #LifeGoals #Podcast #Motivation #TimeCapsule #Ambition #Purpose

  7. Why Modern Life Feels So Empty (The Master and His Emissary Part 2)

    ٢٥ مايو

    Why Modern Life Feels So Empty (The Master and His Emissary Part 2)

    We live in the safest, most connected, and technologically advanced period in human history. So why does modern life feel increasingly empty? In Part 2 of our deep dive into The Master and His Emissary, we explore a provocative idea from psychiatrist and neuroscientist Iain McGilchrist: that the growing emptiness, anxiety, disconnection, and loss of meaning many people feel may not be random. It may be the result of how our culture has shifted toward one mode of thinking over another. According to McGilchrist, the brain’s left and right hemispheres don’t simply handle different tasks, but instead represent radically different ways of relating to reality. The right hemisphere sees the world as living, connected, meaningful, embodied, and whole. The left hemisphere categorizes, abstracts, analyzes, controls, and turns reality into systems, models, and representations. Both of these viewpoints are necessary. But what happens when the part of the brain designed to serve reality begins replacing reality itself? In this episode of Learning To Live we explore the drastic consequences of a world shifting to the left hemisphere's viewpoint and how we can course correct now. This is the follow up episode to Episode 11, where we talked Part 1 of The Master and His Emissary. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

  8. Why Your Progress Isn't Linear

    ١٨ مايو

    Why Your Progress Isn't Linear

    For the past couple of months we’ve implemented challenging self-improvement habits into our lives: - No non-essential phone use - 30 minutes of meditation every day - 3 Tiny Habits - A strict “Good Energy” clean eating diet In this episode we sit down to reflect on our journey and rate the results. What actually improved? What completely failed? And why did some of these challenges feel impossible to sustain? We also reveal the new direction of the podcast: stricter accountability, tracked data, online tools, and a full system overhaul going forward. This is our second challenge check in, following Episode 7’s with the addition of a new diet. We hope you enjoy! Inspired by: - Deep Work by Cal Newport - Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg - The Untethered Soul and Living Untethered by Michael Singer - Good Energy by Casey Means
