In this episode of The Minimalists Podcast, Joshua and Ryan discuss how we’re too often led astray by the status quo and how we can benefit from doing the opposite, and they answer the following questions:
- What does it mean to be authentic?
- What is so problematic about trends?
- Can we find meaning in suffering?
- Why are opinions so inconsequential?
- When have you benefited from thinking the opposite?
- I’m being advised by my ethics class in college that retirement is detrimental to our growth and development as human beings—do you think that is true?
- What is the best kind of growth?
- Some of the worst advice I’ve received is, “Fake it until you make it”—what is wrong with being a work in progress?
- How is all advice flawed advice?
- Do we improve our lives more by addition or subtraction?
