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 of what makes us human, a maxim on thinking well, and an insight on becoming who we are—a short clip from my conversation with the philosopher Skye Cleary (author of How to Be Authentic).
