Live Without Borders: A Stoic Podcast for Traveling Citizens of the World

Have you ever wondered why the richest countries on Earth consistently rank so high in anxiety and depression?

Research says this is because we’re so overstimulated by instant gratification that our brains never feel satisfied and become increasingly unhappy in the quest for more. We’re literally addicted to pursuing pleasures that will never satisfy us.

The cure to this man-made misery? Self-control.

I know, I know. Your body might be rejecting this idea as too boring or hard. But stay with me.

In this episode, you’ll learn how hyper-access to indulgence is physiologically changing your brain, and I’ll coach you on what to do so you can calm your mind and start experiencing more vitality and true joy on a permanent basis.


Let’s continue the conversation. Head on over to my blog on Substack for more content on how to thrive through better communication, Stoicism, and global exploration.
