    Fyodor Dostoevsky was a 19th century novelist and philosopher, considered by many to be one of the most influential authors in all of world literature. Born and raised in Tsarist Russia, Dostoevsky was heavily exposed to the misery and injustice characteristic of his time. Among his more marking experiences, he spent four years in a Siberian labour camp, went through compulsory military service in exile, and had to beg for money while in Western Europe due to his gambling addiction. And yet, despite his first-hand experience of misery and suffering, Dostoevsky remained hopeful and optimistic about what life is. He is considered to be one of the first writers to incorporate concepts of what we now know as existentialism. Dostoevsky’s works revolve around a few major themes like the meaning of life, the constancy of suffering, the divide between rationality and emotion, spirituality, and the various sides of the human condition. Some of his well known novels and essays are Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot, and Notes from the Underground. Through his novels and essays, Dostoevsky tried to make sense of the suffering and misery around him, attempting to find meaning and hope even in the bleakest of times. His work represents a deep dive into human suffering, the evil surrounding us, and the problems caused by moral corruption and in each of the universes he created, he gave ways to escape the apparent constant suffering and torment of his characters through moral virtue, love, compassion, and one’s own sense of meaning. His writings were heavily influential for the existentialist current of philosophy, representing sources of inspiration for other consecrated authors like Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean-Paul Sartre.

    A samurai at first, and then a Ronin, Miyamoto Musashi is considered to be the greatest swordsman ever in the history of Japan, in large part due to his almost surreal discipline. Indeed It is being said that he fought 60 duels, and never lost one. He fought for the first time when he was 13 against an experienced Samurai, and came out victorious. He took down the greatest swordsman at that time, one by one, until the throne was his, and his alone. However, Miyamoto was more than that. Not only was he a master of his craft, but he was also an artist, a cerebral philosopher and a buddhist. He sought meaning, wrote war and philosophy books, and his work became a blueprint for people who want to live a disciplined life. A week before he died in 1645, Miyamoto Musashi wrote 21 principles called “Dokkodo '' by which he expresses a stringent, honest, and ascetic or strongly self-disciplined view of life.

    Michel de Montaigne was a 16th-century French philosopher who defined ambition not as a virtue but as an unnatural "disease of the soul" because it makes people sacrifice the life they have right now for a future that might never even happen. In 1571, right on his 38th birthday, he walked into his office and permanently resigned from his position as a judge in the Bordeaux parliament. It was exactly the kind of role Renaissance men spent their whole lives networking, scheming, and stressing out to get. He quit, moved back to his family's estate in the French countryside, and set himself up in a stone tower on the property. He built a massive library there and had 54 quotes from ancient philosophers carved into the wooden beams of his ceiling. From that point on, he spent his time studying the only subject he actually wanted to understand: himself. He observed his own habits, flaws, and everyday routines, and wrote down his thoughts about them and he called these writings Essais—which comes from the French word meaning "to try" or "to attempt" and is of course where we get the English word ‘essay’.

  • 177: Albert Camus - Enjoy Your Life To The Fullest (Works On Any Income) (Absurdism)
    Jun 17 2026

    In this podcast we will be talking about 6 Ways To Enjoy Your Life To The Fullest from the philosophy of Albert Camus. Albert Camus was a French-Algerian philosopher who built his life's work around the philosophy of absurdism.

    So here are 6 Ways To Enjoy Your Life To The Fullest from the philosophy of Alber Camus -
    01. Stop Waiting for Life to Give You a Meaning
    02. Kill "Hope"
    03. Embrace the Daily Grind
    04. Prioritize the "Quantity" of the Present Over the "Quality"
    05. Reconnect with the physical world
    06. Rebel
    We hope you listening to this podcast and hope this video, from the philosophy of Camus, helps you to enjoy life to the fullest.

    Albert Camus is one of the greatest French writers and thinkers. He was a philosopher, an author and a journalist. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 and his most famous works are The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall, and The Rebel. Camus is one of the most representative figures of the philosophy of the “absurd” or “absurdism,” which is a philosophical movement having as its central hypothesis that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe. Camus considered that absolute freedom must be balanced with absolute justice - too much freedom leads to the situation when the strong suppresses the weak but too much justice kills freedom, and we need to live and let live. As a promoter of the philosophy of the “absurd”, Camus believed that life has no meaning, that the universe simply exists and that it is indifferent to people’s lives. We are like Sisyphus from Greek mythology, forever carrying that heavy rock to the top of the hill, although we know the rock will always fall down and our life's work is meaningless. Our condition might be tragic, but Camus considered that this exact condition hides a blessing in disguise: life does not have a meaning, but we are free to attribute it any meaning we want. His philosophy has inspired a lot of people in dealing with the absurdity of life and even today, his philosophy is extremely relevant.

    Jun 3 2026

    In this podcast we will be talking about 7 Ways To Flow Happily With Your Life from the philosophy of Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi was an ancient Chinese philosopher, often remembered as the playful and imaginative voice of Taoism.

    So here are 7 Ways To Flow Happily With Your Life from the philosophy of Zhuangzi -
    01. Stop Measuring Your Life Against Others
    02. Live According to Your Nature
    03. Flow Effortlessly With Reality
    04. Live Fully, But Stay Detached
    05. Simplify your Desires

    07. Don’t Take Yourself So Seriously
    We hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope this podcast, from the philosophy of Zhuangzi, helps you to flow happily with your life.

    Zhuangzi was an ancient Chinese philosopher, often remembered as the playful and imaginative voice of Taoism. Where Lao Tzu spoke in short, poetic verses, Zhuangzi chose stories. His tales could be light, humorous, even absurd at times - but hidden inside them was a deep wisdom about how to live. In his book, also called Zhuangzi, he shows us that much of our suffering comes from holding on too tightly. To rigid ideas of right and wrong, to our need for control, to the seriousness with which we approach everything. His message is clear — true freedom comes from letting go. Letting go of labels, of narrow thinking, of the constant urge to prove ourselves. He invites us to live more lightly, to drift through life like a leaf on a stream. And when we do, we find a quieter, deeper kind of joy. But in today’s world, we’re pushed to move faster, to compete harder, to constantly chase the next goal. In that race, it’s easy to forget the simple lightness of being alive. Zhuangzi reminds us that life doesn’t always have to be a struggle. It can be playful. It can be free.
