What’s happiness?
On this dialogue, Caleb speaks with Marcus Hedahl, a philosophy professor on the US naval academy.
They focus on happiness, its subjective versus goal nature, the that means of life, what we are able to and may’t reframe, and way more.
It is a wonderful dialog for understanding Stoicism, starting with its account of happiness.
