We live in a vast, complex world. It's beautiful, but wracked with devastation and suffering. Infinitesimal in the face of it all, one wonders how they could possibly make a difference. The first four words of Parshat Re'eh teach us that each individual's presence does in fact have an impact on the wider community, and a single action can even tip the whole world toward good. Let's choose to live like every single one of us matters, like the way we live can bring us closer to a healed, redeemed world.

Sharon Lebell is a bestselling author, speaker, composer, and performing musician. The wrote The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness, which is a book I highly recommend. She's also, like me, a founding member of The Walled Garden and it's an absolute honour to be able to work with her. Sharon is one of the kindest and most compassionate individuals I've ever met – and I don't say that lightly – and so I invited her on to talk about something that all humans inherently struggle with: loneliness: as philosophers and as human beings. We discuss how philosophy, over time, can be an antidote to loneliness. No more spoilers, dear friends, so without further ado, please welcome Sharon Lebell.
For over 25 years Sharon Lebell's internationally bestselling book, The Art of Living: The Classic Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness, has inspired philosophy lovers and the modern Stoicism movement. A contemporary interpretation of the ancient sage Epictetus' teachings, it is a perennial classic that is a cherished spiritual companion and daily guide for readers from every walk of life. Sharon is a strong proponent of expressing philosophy in accessible language so anyone can apply it to better their own lives and be invited to delve further into philosophical inquiry. The imperative to use our lives to improve the lives of others and the importance of beauty and engagement with art, music, and design are central to her message of what makes the best possible life.Since Sharon Lebell was a child, she was obsessed with the questions “how do we each live the best possible life and what does that mean?” She has thus spent her adult life writing and speaking about philosophy, spirituality, meditation, Buddhism, Judaism, ethics, feminism, and related topics. She is also the author of Naming Ourselves, Naming Our Children and co-author with Brother David Steindl-Rast of The Music of Silence.For more information about Sharon:https://www.sharonlebell.com/Follow us on social media:Instagram: @BetterPlaceProjTo follow Steve & Erin on Instagram:@SteveNorrisOfficial@ErinorrisFacebook: Facebook.com/BetterPlaceProjectPodcastEmail: BetterPlaceProjectPodcast@gmail.com

The Live Authentically podcast is back with Sharon Lebell, a bestselling author, composer, speaker and performing musician. Sharon joins Pam to talk about Stoicism, how to live your best possible life and her internationally bestselling book, “The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness.”As per usual, Pam asks Sharon a pertinent question: “How do you live authentically?” To which Sharon responds, “I seek to live authentically every day by asking myself one question, and it's simply this: What can you do with the moment? What can I do with this moment? Because when you think about it, well, it's all we have.”It's true that the present moment is all that we have. And in this present moment, Sharon says we can make a choice that can resonate with us for years to come. It's hard for any of us to know exactly how, but we have the control to change the course of our lives by the decisions we make at any given moment.Getting out of the process of constantly unconsciously doing and shifting toward creating conscious choices isn't easy. It's not a problem that Sharon can conclusively solve. “But what I do believe we can do is set deliberate reminders to take a pause, to draw yourself back into yourself again, or to remember to remember,” Sharon shares.One of the ways Sharon says she does that for herself is by remembering that she's a musician. Sharon put a sticky note on one of her instruments so that when she passes by, she has to read it. The note reads, “Pay the toll,” prompting Sharon to play a tune on her instrument any time she reads the note.“I would urge other people to just find ways of reminding themselves… For lack of a better way of saying it, remind yourself to be who you decided you were going to be. I mean, you know, one of those aspects of that question for me is I'm a musician. Well, if you're a musician, pay the toll,” Sharon chuckled.Learn more about Sharon and what she has to offer by watching the full podcast episode here.

This week we discuss 'The Art of Living' by Epictetus. An ancient stoic philosopher who's work has influenced much of the self-help and CBT literature of the modern day. We discuss the role of philosophy according to Epictetus, how to focus on what is in our control (as well as how to let go of those thing that are outside of our influence), taking an attitude towards ethical daily decision making, self responsibility and the call to action in life. Also how we develop ourselves in relationship to others and the impacts of our words, actions and attitudes with those around us. Alongside the power of habit and how to manage our higher ideals against the day to day tasks of living. Hope you enjoy.

In this episode, Simon is interviewed by Sharon Lebell about his newly published book, The Poet & The Sage. About The Poet & The Sage: The Poet & The Sage is an esoteric work of deep symbolism and archetypal metaphor. Delivered through the time-tested language of poetry and prose, The Poet & The Sage merges the worlds of philosophy, theology, mysticism, mythology, and narrative to convey deep truths about human nature, and about our common aim of being reunited with that which is most divine about us. The careful student will do well not to simply read this book, but to sit with it, and to allow the ideas therein to play gracefully within the heights and depths of their soul. You can purchase The Poet & The Sage here: https://thewalledgarden.store/products/copy-of-the-poet-the-sage The full interview and Q&A is available in video format for Walled Garden patrons at thewalledgarden.com.

NETWORK SPONSORS https://sportshistorynetwork.com/row1/ (Row One) - the vintage shop for sports history fans! EPISODE SUMMARY The first match took place on December 2, 1963, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Gene Lebell was a Judo fighter. I am going to include this because Lebell was an AAU Judo Champion and represented Judo in this contest. However, he had hundreds (or even thousands) of matches as a Pro Wrestler. This match was against Milo Savage, a top-rated journeyman in the Middleweight and Light Heavyweight divisions. Lebell was the brother of promoter Mike Lebell and the son of Aileen Eaton (Promoter). She also was the first woman to ever be inducted into the IBHOF (in 2002). Milo Savage later became a boxing judge and settled in the Trenton, New Jersey, area........

HOST: FRANK READING I am a researcher, public speaker, historian, Boxing History buff, a mega-fan from yesteryear amateur boxing, co-trainer, and worked with 2 golden gloves champions amongst several others. I became interested in boxing in the early to mid-1980s and was fascinated with the one-on-one competition. I trained for a little sparred several times but I was not that good and realized it. I took my interest in other aspects of the sport. Watching and analyzing fight moves styles and recording fights on television back in the days when every home had VCRs. I am a middle-aged man now and do not follow the sport closely anymore but during a time I was a super mega-fan and did not follow anything closely but The Sweet Science. I hope an interest will be brought to and appreciated through my contribution. I am a high school graduate who barely got through because I was not interested in the subject matter being taught. I work in the Private Contract Security field for over 30 years. I have been happily married for 16 years and have 2 stepdaughters. My wife's name is Erika and the daughters are Andrea and Elena.

Sharon also shares a spontaneous interlude on her one of a kind instrument, and discusses how she hopes that The Walled Garden can be a place where people can experience what she calls "The Big Amazing".

New Friends Parting words resonate. Sharon Lebell concluded our conversation by saying we should “rescue philosophy from the philosophers, rescue virtue from the sanctimonious and rescue art from the critics.” Provocative stuff. But how we got to that point makes for even more gripping listening. Sharon, a composer, author, and hammer dulcimer player, is also a mother and a thinker. And she is kind. She gave time and thought generously to our conversation. She even fessed up to a love affair with a very old white man. And both she and Thich Nhat Hanh wrote books with the same title! Our fondness for the Stoics is what first brought us together. But we connected, too, in our love of music and distillation. She distilled many “I/we” virtues (prudence, temperament, judgment, courage, acceptance, altruism) into one: kindness. “Kindness is paramount,” she mused, “the other virtues are secondary expressions of kindness.” We spoke about raising children, moral education, the danger of idolatry, seeking virtue and how to live a good life. What's a good life? Daring to place your bet on meaningfulness in an apparently absurd world. What's the best we can do? No credos: focus on self-reflection; act accordingly. And seeking virtue? Lebell called it “a series of micro-pivots.” Away from the bad, toward the good. “In the aggregate,” she said, “they add up to beauty.” I'm still chewing on this conversation. Sharon Lebell must have experienced vulnerability, but we didn't get into that. Her humility showed through in her pursuit of connection. After all, what do we have but each other? Her music and writings and some small, sensible things live on her website. Oh, and this podcast lays out a banquet for thought. Hungry? Just press play.

New Friends Parting words resonate. Sharon Lebell concluded our conversation by saying we should “rescue philosophy from the philosophers, rescue virtue from the sanctimonious and rescue art from the critics.” Provocative stuff. But how we got to that point makes for even more gripping listening. Sharon, a composer, author, and hammer dulcimer player, is also a mother and a thinker. And she is kind. She gave time and thought generously to our conversation. She even fessed up to a love affair with a very old white man. And both she and Thich Nhat Hanh wrote books with the same title! Our fondness for the Stoics is what first brought us together. But we connected, too, in our love of music and distillation. She distilled many “I/we” virtues (prudence, temperament, judgment, courage, acceptance, altruism) into one: kindness. “Kindness is paramount,” she mused, “the other virtues are secondary expressions of kindness.” We spoke about raising children, moral education, the danger of idolatry, seeking virtue and how to live a good life. What's a good life? Daring to place your bet on meaningfulness in an apparently absurd world. What's the best we can do? No credos: focus on self-reflection; act accordingly. And seeking virtue? Lebell called it “a series of micro-pivots.” Away from the bad, toward the good. “In the aggregate,” she said, “they add up to beauty.” I'm still chewing on this conversation. Sharon Lebell must have experienced vulnerability, but we didn't get into that. Her humility showed through in her pursuit of connection. After all, what do we have but each other? Her music and writings and some small, sensible things live on her website. Oh, and this podcast lays out a banquet for thought. Hungry? Just press play.

Lebell is committed to expressing ancient wisdom in accessible language so everyone can apply it to better their lives and experience philosophy's enchantments.

Stoicism, personal development, and the path of progress - that's what the Practical Stoic podcast was all about, and we retain this message now in The Walled Garden podcast and community. This episode is a re-release of an old podcast episode of the Practical Stoic Podcast (before rebranding to The Walled Garden). For a while, most of my pre-2020 episodes were only available to patrons. I have now made the choice to publish all pre-2020 episodes in order to give the complete view of my path through Stoicism, moving from the more practical personal-developmental ideas toward the deeper philosophical and theological understanding of Stoicism. The podcast is, of course, now called The Walled Garden. The Walled Garden came about in late 2021, and is a collaboration between myself, Sharon Lebell, and Kai Whiting. The Walled Garden is not just a podcast—it's a community of like-minded philosophers and seekers who are dedicated to the pursuit of truth, wisdom, virtue, and the divine.
