📮 Want tools for the art of living? Sign up here: https://perennial.substack.com/subscribe
Today’s episode is an audio version of the Monday Muse on Perennial Meditations. A little about this series, for anyone not familiar. It’s a weekly collection of what I call perennial reminders, insights, and maxims on the art of living. The term muse is an ancient one; it derives from ancient Greece and mythology. It typically has two meanings today: (1) a state of deep thought; (2) a source of inspiration. As I mentioned in a previous episode, each of the new series has its own distinct podcast cover.
Today’s episode includes a reminder on What Makes Life Meaningful, a maxim on Happiness, and an insight on the virtue of hope—by way of a short clip from my conversation with the philosopher Kieran Setiya (author of Life is Hard).
