Podcasts about on the shortness

As is now Modern Meditations tradition we ended 2024 with reading Seneca's “On The Shortness of Life” and sat down for a chat about how we did with this year that is not coming back. We both saw meaningful ways that Stoicism had major impacts in our lives for the better, whether that be through breakups, travel, making major career moves, graduating college or deaths in the family. And at the end we have the internationally acclaimed awards ceremony for the best episodes of the year called, “The Aurelis.“ 

We're reading you the whole book! Last week we talked in depth about Seneca's "On The Shortness of Life" and we thought the book was so good and people were not likely to go read it themselves... So we decided to read it to you. This book is a great annual reminder of a few important themes: The time in life we have is precious Time is passing every day The future is uncertain so we need to learn to live our lives fully and richly today Many of the things we worry about are not as important as we think in the moment Here is the link to the full version: https://ia804709.us.archive.org/9/items/SenecaOnTheShortnessOfLife/Seneca%20on%20the%20Shortness%20of%20Life.pdf 

On this special edition of Modern Meditations we explore the book “On The Shortness of Life” which was practically made for New Year's day reflections.  We go through how the book can change your outlook on what a long or a short life is, and then we take an audit of our own year and give questions to think about when evaluating how we spend our time. Then Seneca comes from the dead to read Bruce's Journal and then give some sagely advice.

I am beyond thrilled to have this guest on the Euphoric podcast. Not only is Andy Ramage my hero, he was one of the key people who shifted how I viewed alcohol and allowed me to see how limitless life can be without it. Andy is the co-founder of One Year No Beer, a global movement to transform people’s relationships with alcohol by taking a break from drinking and discovering how incredible life is without it. Andy takes things to the next level and optimizes his life for peak performance. He proves that quitting alcohol can make you healthier, happier, more motivated and productive and let’s you go for all your dreams (seems like we have a similar goal). Case in point, he’s written two books, one called the 28 Day Alcohol-Free Challenge and another one on motivation coming soon, gotten a Master’s degree in positive psychology, started a business that has helped over 25,000 people, and is actively challenging the status quo that we have to drink to fit in on TV, popular podcasts and TEDx. Tune in to our conversation to learn more about his story, how he became an expert on behavioral change, what his morning routine looks like, and the top books to read to change your life. According to Andy, the single best thing you could do to improve your life? Quit drinking alcohol. Why waste another moment being hungover ever again?   Show Notes and Books Mentioned: One Year No Beer https://www.oneyearnobeer.com/ The 28 Day Alcohol-Free Challenge https://www.amazon.com/28-Day-Alcohol-Free-Challenge/dp/1509857257/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=28+day+challenge&qid=1560878022&s=gateway&sr=8-3 Deep Work https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted/dp/1455586692/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=deep+work&qid=1560877496&s=gateway&sr=8-3 You Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Hurt-Me-Master-Your/dp/1544512287/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=You+Can%E2%80%99t+Hurt+Me&qid=1560877511&s=gateway&sr=8-1 Awaken the Giant Within https://www.amazon.com/Awaken-Giant-Within-Immediate-Emotional/dp/0671791540/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Awaken+the+Giant+Within&qid=1560877555&s=gateway&sr=8-1 The Artist’s Way https://www.amazon.com/Artists-Way-25th-Anniversary/dp/0143129252/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+artists+way&qid=1560877569&s=gateway&sr=8-1 Finding Your Own North Star https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Your-Own-North-Star/dp/0812932188/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Finding+Your+Own+North+Star&qid=1560877579&s=gateway&sr=8-1 The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober https://www.amazon.com/Unexpected-Joy-Being-Sober-alcohol-free/dp/1912023385/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=The+Unexpected+Joy+of+Being+Sober&qid=1560877591&s=gateway&sr=8-1 On The Shortness of Life https://www.amazon.com/Shortness-Life-Seneca/dp/1941129420/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=e+Shortness+of+Life+seneca&qid=1560877603&s=gateway&sr=8-1 The Element https://www.amazon.com/Element-Finding-Passion-Changes-Everything/dp/0143116738/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+element&qid=1560877622&s=gateway&sr=8-1 So Good They Can’t Ignore You https://www.amazon.com/Good-They-Cant-Ignore-You/dp/1455509124/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=So+Good+They+Can%E2%80%99t+Ignore+Me+cal+newport&qid=1560877643&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr0 Born Standing Up https://www.amazon.com/Born-Standing-Up-Comics-Life/dp/1416553657/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=steve+martin+biography&qid=1560877660&s=gateway&sr=8-1

I once wrote, "We all like to appear 'successful' (a nebulous term at best) and the media likes to portray standouts as superheroes...Most 'superheroes' are nothing of the sort. They’re weird, neurotic creatures who do big things DESPITE lots of self-defeating habits and self-talk." Focusing on what people accomplish without understanding the mindset that allows them to experience that success leads to limited results. To help close the gap, I wanted to share On The Shortness of Life by Seneca the Younger. It's a short letter written roughly two thousand years ago, yet it's timeliness. This is an essay that I revisit at least once a quarter because it focuses on how much time we're given in life, and how it's oftentimes misused or wasted. You can listen to my favorite portion here, which begins with: "Why do you torment yourself and lose weight over some problem..." This is a fantastic reminder to mind the critical few and to ignore the trivial many. You can listen to this one and the rest of the collection via the Tao of Seneca at Audible.com/TimsBooks. Enjoy! Show notes and links for this episode can be found at www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This podcast is brought to you by Boll & Branch. There is a lot of nonsense in the bedding business. For instance, did you know thread-count is not a good measurement of quality? It’s a total myth. The “Made in Italy” label? It isn’t something you should necessarily pay extra for because it generally means it’s just finished in Italy and woven in places like China. The general industry mark-up for bedding is 700 to 800 percent at most retailers. Boll & Branch creates incredibly high-quality bedding. They are the same sheets you’ll find at my home in San Francisco. The best part? You can try anything you order at home for 30 days. If you don’t love it, send it back and get a full refund.
