Podcasts about restless world

In this message from Psalm 23, we're reminded that we can have peace in the middle of a chaotic world because Jesus is our Shepherd. Instead of living restless and overwhelmed by our circumstances, we can trust His provision, follow His direction, find restoration for our souls, and rest in His presence.Jesus is our provider, peace, restorer, protector, guide, defender, and life giver. No matter what we face, we can rest assured in Jesus, our Lord, knowing that He is with us and has already gone ahead of us.

Today's encouraging and deeply practical conversation with author Aimee Joseph explores why so many of us feel exhausted, anxious, and spiritually restless despite living in an age obsessed with self-care and productivity. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and everyday experience, Joseph explains how our pursuit of control, pleasure, and self-righteousness or self-sufficiency often keeps us from the peace we crave, and why true rest is found not in better life hacks but in repentance, dependence on God, and the finished work of Christ. From Sabbath rhythms and spiritual formation to overcoming burnout and finding lasting peace, this insightful episode offers biblical wisdom for anyone longing to rest deeply in a culture that never slows down.  Featured work: Made to Rest: True Peace in a World That Never Stops  Connect with Aimee Joseph at AimeeJoseph.blog or on Instagram.  For more faith-filled, Gospel-centered content, download the Pilgrim Radio app today on Google Play and Apple, or stream at PilgrimRadio.com. 

You picked up your phone 186 times yesterday. That's not a discipline problem, it's a hunger problem. This week we trace the ache behind the scroll back to Augustine and forward to the empty tomb, and land on the strange freedom of a faith that doesn't need you to fix yourself first. When you scroll, you're looking for something real. The compulsion isn't random, and it's not just weak willpower. It's a hunger for heaven, misdirected. Samuel James calls the internet an "epistemological habitat" — not a tool you use but an environment that shapes what you crave, what you notice, and what you believe is true. And it's designed by teams of behavioral psychologists who know your patterns better than you do. We walk through the five digital liturgies that form us online, the structural forces stacked against you (and why shame is the wrong frame), and then what Jesus actually offers when you're starving for something real. If you've ever felt trapped by your phone and blamed yourself for not trying harder, this one's for you.

Theme: The Sabbath is a gift from God that points us to rest, worship, and trust, ultimately pointing us to Christ. 1) The Sabbath at Creation (Gen. 2:1-3) 2) The Sabbath became a covenant sign for Israel (Exod. 20:8-11; 31:12-17) 3) Jesus restored the true meaning of the Sabbath (Mk. 2:23-28) 4) Jesus is our ultimate Sabbath rest (Heb. 4:1-11; Matt. 11:28-30)  

As summer brings a change of pace, it also gives us an opportunity to recover something many Christians have lost—the biblical rhythm of rest. In this episode of the Pastoral Thoughts Podcast, Pastor Jack Young and Pastor Jon Mager discuss the biblical principle of the Sabbath and what it looks like to practice intentional rest in a world that celebrates constant activity.Drawing from Scripture and Pastor Jack's recent article on Summer Sabbaths, they explore why God designed rest as a gift rather than a burden, how Jesus modeled healthy rhythms of ministry, and why slowing down can actually make us more effective in serving the Lord. They also discuss practical ways pastors, ministry leaders, and busy families can build times of refreshment into their lives without becoming lazy or neglecting their responsibilities.Whether you're feeling spiritually drained, physically exhausted, or simply looking to establish healthier rhythms, this conversation offers biblical encouragement and practical ideas for finding renewal in Christ.In this episode you'll discover:The difference between biblical rest and laziness.Why God built Sabbath principles into creation.How rest strengthens rather than weakens ministry.Practical ways to schedule "summer sabbaths" for yourself and your family.How seasons of rest prepare us for greater faithfulness in the work God has called us to do."Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28

All verse are from the New American Standard Bible (NASB) Genesis 2:1-31 And so the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their heavenly lights. 2 By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. Exodus 20:8-11; 31:12-178 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 For six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male slave or your female slave, or your cattle, or your resident who stays with you. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; for that reason the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 12 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 13 “Now as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘You must keep My Sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. 14 Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. 16 So the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to celebrate the Sabbath throughout their generations as a permanent covenant.' 17 It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.” Mark 2:23-2823 And it happened that He was passing through the grain fields on the Sabbath, and His disciples began to make their way along while picking the heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees were saying to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 25 And He *said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry; 26 how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?” 27 Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord, even of the Sabbath.” Hebrews 4:1-114 Therefore, we must fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also did; but the word they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united with those who listened with faith. 3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, “As I swore in My anger,They certainly shall not enter My rest,” although His works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this passage, “They certainly shall not enter My rest.” 6 Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who previously had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 He again sets a certain day, “Today,” saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, “Today if you hear His voice,Do not harden your hearts.” 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. 9 Consequently, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. 10 For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. 11 Therefore let's make every effort to enter that rest,

In this episode of the Innovative Church Leaders podcast, host Jenni Wong Clayville interviews Dr. Chesarae Fletcher about the importance of Sabbath, rest, and community for women of color and church leaders. They explore practical ways to incorporate Sabbath into daily life, the theological significance of rest, and the power of sisterhood in healing and renewal.They also discuss the anthology: Sabbath with My Sisters an Anthology: Women Reflecting on God's Rest in a Restless World.

Your heart is restless. It wants more than this world can give. It longs for a love that will not fail, a peace that will not pass away, a home that cannot be taken from you. You know this—perhaps you have always known it—even when you try to silence the longing with lesser things.In the seventeenth century, Jesus revealed to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque the answer to that longing. He showed her his Sacred Heart: aflame with love, wounded by ingratitude, yearning for souls who would console him through their devotion. What she saw was not simply a vision but an invitation. Christ was opening his heart to her—and through her, to us—saying in effect: This is what you have been seeking. This is where you belong.The Sacred Heart has become a home for many saints over the ages. In this episode, I want to share with you, briefly, three saints who fostered a devotion to the Sacred Heart. I add this to a previous episode where I shared a longer reflection on St. Margaret Mary Alacoque herself. These reflections are taken from my new book, The Rule of the Sacred Heart: Finding Rest in a Restless World. I crafted this book as a 33-day devotional, leading us, step by step, toward intimacy with Christ in his Sacred Heart and responding to his mercy in our lives. Over the 33 days, we meditate on biblical scenes, probe the revelations of the Sacred Heart to Christ's saints, and give our minds and hearts little by little to the Sacred Heart each day, all while taking on small but intentional devotions.What I share with you today are short introductions to three saints that accompany the devotions in the third week of the devotional journey. I hope you enjoy.Follow-up Resources:The Rule of the Sacred Heart: Finding Rest in a Restless World by Leonard DeLorenzo (OSV)“St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and the Devotion to the Sacred Heart,” podcast episode via Church Life Today“Drawing close to feel the beating of the Sacred Heart,” by Leonard J.

Using Psalm 23, Pastor Derek looks at the Lord as our Great Shepherd who provides rest to His sheep—sheep who, whether they realize it or not, are desperate for the care and nurture of the Shepherd for every single facet of their existence. Key Truths from the Message: We are created for communion with God. Our souls were literally designed to be in relationship with Him. We default toward cheap substitutes. When we get tired, we tend to chase things that cannot actually satisfy us. Substitutes can never restore us. A substitute cannot restore you because it didn't create you in the first place. Jesus alone restores. As our Great Shepherd, He is the only one who can truly restore our souls. Rest is not inactivity. True rest is found directly in the living presence of Jesus. Looking further at Matthew 11:28-30 and Hebrews 4:9-11, we see that the Lord lovingly calls us to a place of continual rest in Him, regardless of what season we may currently be walking through—whether it is busy, stressful, chaotic, or peaceful.

In our fast-paced world filled with information overload and constant busyness, many people feel overwhelmed and hopeless. The book of Ecclesiastes reveals that placing our hope in temporal things like leaders or achievements always leads to disappointment. Solomon, despite having everything the world offers, discovered that human striving never brings true rest. The constant pursuit of busyness has become an idol in our culture, filling our calendars while leaving our souls empty. Scripture consistently calls us to stillness and rest, reminding us that God fights for us while we remain quiet. True satisfaction isn't found in human achievement but in simple pleasures shared with others and in fearing God while keeping His commands.Support the show

Emily Austin is joined by Sister Hannah Winkler, CSM, Prioress of the Community of St. Mary, Southern Province, for a thoughtful conversation about the resurgence of religious life and the enduring wisdom of Benedictine spirituality. Sister Hannah reflects on what she is seeing across Episcopal religious orders: genuine growth, renewed interest, and a deep longing for stability rooted in prayer.Together, they explore why monastic practices—such as the Daily Office, Lectio Divina, and living by a Rule of Life—are resonating with people living far beyond convent walls. Sister Hannah describes how the Sisters of St. Mary's expanding network of oblates and associates allows laypeople to commit to a rhythm of prayer and Benedictine values while remaining fully engaged in family life, work, and parish communities.The conversation also examines the spiritual power of structure, not as restriction but as a trellis that creates space for growth. In a world shaped by speed, choice, and constant noise, the predictability of prayer offers a way to sanctify time and rest in God's changelessness. Sister Hannah shares how monastic communities understand their vocation as holding the world in prayer—especially when others find themselves unable to pray.This episode invites listeners to consider how ancient practices continue to shape faithful, grounded lives today.Learn more about the Sisters of St. Mary:https://www.communityofstmarysouth.org/Watch Compline and other services on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-j3GU7enCfpY3hLGEvhT5gBook mentioned: Convent Wisdomhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/224004832-convent-wisdom

Each new year brings new ideas, new routines, new things to check off our to-do list. But what if we really just need to stop, slow down, and truly rest? Join us over the next few weeks as we dive into the spiritual practice of rest. Sabbath.

In a world that prizes speed, busyness, and constant achievement, the idea of stopping can feel impossible—if not irresponsible. Yet God calls us to a radically different rhythm: a rhythm of Sabbath rest.This Sunday we will explore the various factors that led to Israel's resistance to the Sabbath much to the detriment of their own souls. Together, we'll discover practical ways to reclaim rest in a world of hurry and consider how we can thrive when so many are struggling to survive.

Brian From talks with pastor and professor Ryan Tinnetti about his new book, The Quiet Ambition, which explores Scripture’s invitation to step out of the frantic pace of modern life and into a life shaped by the gospel. Ryan unpacks what it means to “live quietly,” build holy habits of stillness, and resist the pressures of constant striving and comparison. The episode offers practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement for anyone longing for calm, clarity, and deeper rest in Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Feeling crushed by busyness, pressure, and the never-ending push to be “good enough”? We walk through Hebrews chapter 4 to show how belief opens a real, present rest and why the promise of a lasting Sabbath rest still stands. This isn't spiritual avoidance or self-help spin; it's a rooted claim that Christ finished the work of righteousness, and that changes how we face fear, failure, and the future.Hebrews 4:3 takes us deeper: God's works were finished from the foundation of the world. God is timeless; his completed work unfolds in our time. That truth reframes anxious questions about career, money, family, and culture. We don't have to control outcomes; we learn to obey in small steps and rest in a power that never runs dry. And when the text says “there remains a Sabbath rest,” we look forward to the Millennial Kingdom and the Final State—when our mission is complete and our rest is whole. Until then, we live under Christ's easy yoke, practicing trust over striving and presence over panic.If you've been trying to earn peace, stop and breathe. The invitation repeats like a heartbeat: today. Don't postpone trust to a tomorrow you can't guarantee. Hit play, reflect with us through Hebrews 4, and take the next faithful step toward real rest.

In this powerful solo episode, Pastor Trevor opens his heart about a divine stirring that's been growing in his soul, a “holy discomfort” that's shaking him (and perhaps all of us) out of spiritual autopilot. Drawing from Isaiah 41:4, Trevor explores what it means to be summoned by God in this generation, a generation marked by restlessness, distraction, and hunger for purpose.He unpacks how every great move of God begins with dissatisfaction, why God doesn't need your resume but your yes, and how leaders, parents, students, and believers alike can respond to this sacred call.If you've been feeling unsettled, stirred, or unsure of what's next, this episode is your wake-up call. When God summons, history shifts. Are you ready to say yes?

debeeaff.wordpress.com In a Restless World, One Woman Finds Refuge—and Wisdom—in a Patch of Infinite Paradise TUCSON, Ariz., August 25, 2025 — In a time when the planet, and peace of mind, feels increasingly at risk, author Dianne Ebertt Beeaff offers a gentle but profound antidote: slow down, pay attention and listen to the land. Her newest book, Infinite Paradise: Witnessing the Wild, welcomes readers to a 16-acre expanse of forest and water meadow along the Conestoga River in Southern Ontario, Canada — a piece of land her mother once named “Paradise.” Part meditative memoir, part love letter to nature, Infinite Paradise invites readers to rediscover nature not as just background scenery but as a source of solace, healing and belonging. “As a child, I grew up in this remarkable space,” Beeaff explained. “Interacting with nature can combat stress, heal the human spirit, and foster new and calming perspectives on life.” Using personal vignettes and breathtaking color photographs, Beeaff chronicles the passing seasons of a single year with poetic precision and reverent detail, connecting readers with the wonder of wildlife and the rhythm of nature — and the quiet, essential truths they hold for all of humanity. Divided into seasons and then further into months and days, Infinite Paradise focuses on the buoyancy of life, showing readers that in a world battered by global warming, habitat destruction and species extinction, many riches still remain. Readers' Favorite calls Infinite Paradise “… a perfect choice for those who cherish nature and seek peace and reflection in their reading,” and BookLife Reviews says, “Beeaff's reflections will instill a powerful urge to slow down, breathe, and be fully present ... this might be the change we all need.” As Infinite Paradise illustrates, the complexity, beauty and power of the natural world is available to any reader who stays open to the splendid lifeforms they live among. “I hope readers will be moved in some small way to learn about and appreciate the many miracles of the natural world and its healing power that surrounds them,” Beeaff added.

Have you mistaken rest for weakness, when it's truly wisdom?In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt sits down with longtime friends Michael and Selah Hirsch to discuss their new book, “Pressing Pause: Finding Rest in a Restless World.” The Hirsh's share with humor and honesty how the revelation of sabbath came right on time for their family, radically transforming their home and lifestyle. God created sabbath in Genesis as a gift–a counter-cultural pattern set to rescue us from our own drivenness. Sabbath is a holy set-apart space that brings an identity and lifestyle shift. It's not only an invitation to rest from work, but to learn to work from a place of rest. Join Rabbi, Michael, and Selah as they share the power of a sabbath mindset, how the shabbat table is equipping the next generation with courage and conviction, and the joy of partnering with the Prince of Peace to run your race with endurance.You can find “Pressing Pause” on Amazon or at https://startsabbath.com.

One Off Wednesdays - Rest in a Restless World 8.13.25 by Launchpoint Church

Feeling overwhelmed, restless, or emotionally drained? In this episode of The ER Podcast, we explore the life-changing power of deep, meaningful rest—and how it's the antidote to burnout, chronic stress, and emotional fatigue.

Lead Pastor - Tim Hatch

In this episode of the Redeeming Truth Podcast, Pastors Todd Burgett, Dale Thackrah, Jason Stinson, Darrell Harrison, and Dave Jordan sit down to explore a type of rest far deeper than just taking a day off—soul rest through Jesus Christ. Drawing from passages like Matthew 11, Hebrews 4, Isaiah 26, and Acts 2, the pastors discuss how true rest is not about inactivity or escape, but a spiritual reality grounded in the finished work of Christ. Together, they unpack what it means to rest in God's promises, how to fight anxiety with gospel truth, and why fellowship, humility, and biblical community are vital in experiencing lasting peace.

Gene unpacks what true Biblical rest looks like. It's not good night slight or a beach vacation. The answer will be surprising.

The Music of Rest #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Music of Rest #RTTBROS #Nightlight The Music of Rest: Finding God's Rhythm in a Restless World"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 (KJV)I violated the rest reality in the Bible to my own hurt, I almost self-destructed. I don't know where I came across this statement, but it's become a pattern I've tried to follow, and it was: "Divert daily, withdraw weekly, and abandon annually." The concept is that we need to have some rest built into each day, each week, and each year. I have been encouraging every pastor friend of mine to follow some version of this and build rest into the rhythm of their life. In music, they say that a rest is when there is no music, but the truth is there is the making of music in the rest. The rest is a vital part of the whole composition. God's design and desire is that the composition of our lives be well-pleasing to Him, and He's the one that established the rhythms of rest as well as the call to do business till He comes.Just as a musical composition needs rests to create beauty and meaning, our lives need intentional pauses to create space for God's presence and renewal. Without these rests, our life's song becomes a chaotic noise rather than a harmonious melody that glorifies our Creator.Five Practical Steps to Enter God's Rhythm of Rest1. Divert Daily (15-30 minutes): Set aside time each day to step away from your regular responsibilities. This could be a morning walk, evening prayer time, or simply sitting quietly with a cup of coffee while reflecting on God's goodness. Turn off devices and tune into God's presence.2. Withdraw Weekly (Half day to full day): Honor the Sabbath principle by dedicating regular time each week to rest from work and focus on worship, family, and spiritual renewal. This might mean saying no to certain commitments or work projects on your chosen day of rest.3. Abandon Annually (Several days to weeks): Plan extended periods of rest throughout the year, true vacations where you completely disconnect from work responsibilities. Use this time for deeper spiritual retreats, family bonding, or simply allowing your soul to be restored in God's presence.4. Create Rest Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries around your rest times. Communicate with family, friends, and colleagues about when you're unavailable. Let your voicemail, email auto-reply, and boundaries protect these sacred times of renewal.5. Practice the Presence of God in Rest: Don't just rest from work, rest in God. Use your rest times for prayer, Scripture reading, worship, or simply sitting in God's presence. Remember that true rest comes not just from the absence of activity, but from the presence of peace that only God can provide.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

In this episode, we dive into Black Mirror Season 7, Episode 1 ("Common People") with writer and philosopher Emily Herring, who recently explored the show's themes of platform capitalism and cognitive exploitation in The New World. What does it mean to "subscribe" to your own mind, and how do concepts like enshittification, machinic enslavement, and time-debt shape our experience of autonomy? Along the way, we examine Henri Bergson's philosophy of memory and duration, questioning whether the qualitative dimensions of consciousness can survive under techno-capitalist regimes.Emily's article: https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/emily-herring-black-mirror-and-the-fight-to-keep-corporations-out-of-your-brain/Emily Herring's 'Herald of a Restless World': https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/emily-herring/herald-of-a-restless-world/9781541600942/Support the showVintagia Pre-Launch: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acidhorizon/vintagia-i-ching-oracle-for-psychogeographers-and-creatives Support the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Revolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

What if rest wasn't a reward for finishing your to-do list, but a rhythm woven into creation itself? In today's fast-paced culture, biblical rest can feel elusive—especially for homeschooling families juggling responsibilities and expectations. But as Eryn Lynum shared in our recent conversation, true rest is not about doing less, but about being rooted in God's presence and design. Are you longing for slower homeschool days, a more peaceful heart, or a deeper understanding of Sabbath? Today's Homeschool Conversation explores the patterns of rest found in Scripture, creation, and daily life and how you can bring those rhythms into your home today.Find show notes and full transcript here: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/finding-rest-in-a-restless-worldEryn's books hereWhile you're here, would you take a minute to leave a rating and review in your podcast app?

Once upon a time, French philosopher Henri Bergson was the most celebrated  public intellectual in the world. People stood in long lines just to get a glimpse of his lectures. He took the culture by storm, and had enormous influence on early 20th century thought across multiple fields. Then, Europe descended into war, the zeitgeist changed, and little by little he faded away. And in a post-war modernist, materialistic age, there just wasn't been much room for this unique philosopher of consciousness, creativity, and time who brought meaning and mystery to the lecture halls of Europe and the salons of Paris. Henri Bergson was thinking deeply about the philosophical implications of evolution all the way back in the 19th century. The originality of his thought has inspired an effort in a few corners of the academic world to revive and revisit his work and influence.  Most recently, Dr. Emily Herring's new biography of Bergson, Herald of a Restless World, is garnering attention on both sides of the Atlantic. I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Herring to the Thinking Ahead. 

In a restless world, God offers the healing gift of Sabbath.

In the early 20th century, the New York Times dubbed French philosopher Henri Bergson as "the most dangerous man in the world." Bergson scared a lot of people in how he brought philosophy to the masses but he also won critical acclaim, receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature and France's highest honor, the Grand-Croix de la Legion d'honneur. Surprisingly, no English language biography exists of him. Until now. This week, Dr. Emily Herring joins in to talk about Bergson's rise to fame, his influence on 20th century thought, and the mysteries behind why he died in relative obscurity. About our guest:Dr. Emily Herring received her PhD from the University of Leeds and is now working as a freelance writer and editor. She is the author of the first biography of Henri Bergson in English, Herald of a Restless World. How Henri Bergson Brought Philosophy to the People (2024 Basic Books).

This week Coop and Taylor were joined by Emily Herring, a scholar whose work brings together intellectual history, philosophy, and the cultural currents of the 20th century. She's the author of Herald of a Restless World: How Henri Bergson Brought Philosophy to the People, a fascinating exploration of the life and thought of one of the most influential yet often overlooked philosophers of the modern era. Henri Bergson, known for his radical rethinking of time, consciousness, and human experience, captured the imagination of artists, intellectuals, and even political figures during the early 20th century.

Book Club #114 - Herald of a Restless World - Richard talks to comedian and writer Eleanor Morton about her book about some notable women from history (some famous, others not so much) Life Lessons From Historical Women. Should Richard with his 2:1 in history have know about more of them than he does? Perhaps. They chat about why women (and non-royalty generally) are so badly represented in history, how history is more fun if you're allowed to be judgemental about the clearly horrible stuff, how even stories from as recently at the 60s show how pervasive certain ideas of women can be, how Eleanor chose her 18 people/groups to write about and how the book is more serious than one might have expected (but still has plenty of funny stuff in it too).Buy the book herehttps://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/herald-of-a-restless-world-how-henri-bergson-brought-philosophy-to-the-people-emily-herring/7697499?ean=9781529371918See RHLSTP recorded live - https://richardherring.com/rhlstp Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.
