The Hero's Journey

Paradoxically Speaking (S2E8)

Hello Friends,

Here is the latest episode of Paradoxically Speaking — a podcast with my good friend Joshua Bertolotti (from The Perennial Meditations Newsletter). For anyone new to Paradoxically Speaking, our conversations attempt to explore the complexities and nuances of living our highest good in the modern world.

Thanks for listening,

Brandon

Summary

The conversation explores the themes of personal growth, the hero's journey, materialism, self-deception, and the concept of calling. The speakers discuss how stories like The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit resonate with people because they speak to deep themes and the desire for growth and meaning. They emphasize the importance of facing discomfort and taking on challenges as a path to maturity and wisdom.
