Pat Flynn on Exploring and Expanding Our Worldviews

Published: Dec. 28, 2022, 11 a.m.

Whether you realize it or not, you\u2019re operating according to a worldview. Your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all influenced by how you make sense of the world, and so, that worldview determines your quality of life. If that concept sounds interesting, and if you enjoyed my previous philosophical conversations with my friend Pat Flynn, you\u2019re going to enjoy this podcast.

\n

Pat is a repeat guest not only because I find our discussions entertaining, but I\u2019ve gotten great feedback from listeners who like hearing about these deeper, philosophical topics we wade through. Plus, I believe examining these \u201cbig\u201d questions can help us live a better life.

\n

Not only is Pat a fitness guru with an expertise in kettlebells, but he\u2019s an author, philosopher, and host of multiple podcasters. Specifically, his Philosophy For the People podcast aims to breakdown difficult ideas and make them more accessible, so he\u2019s the perfect guest to discuss these health-adjacent topics.

\n

In our discussion, we talk about . . .

\n

- What a worldview is and why it matters

\n

- The fallacy of Bulverism

\n

- Personal responsibility and how much can you change your worldview

\n

- The problem of evil and whether suffering is necessary

\n

- How to make sense of scenarios involving \u201cdueling experts\u201d

\n

- And a lot more . . .

\n

So, if you\u2019ve never thought much about your worldview, want to learn more about what it is and why it matters, or if any of this just makes you curious, listen to this podcast!
