5945 TEN YEARS INTO PHILOSOPHY? Time for an AUDIT! Freedomain Call In
Topic Detail: After listening to the show and reading most of the books, and having 1 call over a decade ago, I think I could benefit from a "philosophy audit." I think everything is going quite well, I have a great wife, a 2 year old daughter, a newborn daughter, and live on many, many acres in the US state with my preferred climate (warm). Since I'm starting a new job (C suite at a professional services firm) in a month, I think it would be a great time to go through this audit to see where there are areas I can improve, including on being a better father, husband, business leader etc..GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

5942 Don't Get Played by WOMEN!
Sunday Morning Live 4 May 2025In today's livestream, I examine the theme of personal drama and the self-inflicted challenges we create. I define drama as self-generated, negatively impactful, and typically unsolvable, encouraging listeners to evaluate their own experiences. We discuss how the human brain craves challenge, often leading to unnecessary conflict when real issues are absent. I highlight the importance of distinguishing sympathy based on the nature of others' struggles and provide insights into managing conflicts and communicating difficult topics with children. The discussion emphasizes personal growth and the transformative power of confronting life's challenges directly.Preview the DONORS ONLY portion of the show at https://premium.freedomain.com/e2e536b8/dont-get-played-by-womenSubscribers can access the show directly at: Locals: https://freedomain.locals.com/post/6903551/donor-livestream-dont-get-played-by-womenSubscribestar: https://www.subscribestar.com/posts/1847988Freedomain: https://freedomain.com/donor-livestream-dont-get-played-by-women/GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
