Episode 40: the problem of purpose, the keys to inner sanity are already in your hands, and managing cognitive dissonance

Hey Jacob, Hi Scott

In this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about chewing mastic gum to open your nasal passages and strengthen your jawline (yes, it’s a thing). They talk about the pressures of purpose and the liberation that comes from seeing one’s purpose as whatever it is that’s happening at the moment, even if that’s only washing dishes or brushing your teeth. They discuss the importance of focusing on your inner self and inner circle when the insanity of the outside world feels especially out of control and unbearable. And they reflect on moments in their lives that completely changed their experience of this reality when it was no longer possible to see the world, or their worlds, the same way.
