Burning Phoenix Podcast - The bigger Life Choices, and the Four Primary Virtues
play

11/09/23 • 16 min

Today we'll be discussing a question from Adam in St. Louis, Missouri, about ways to think about the bigger overall life choices, especially in your early 20s.

And the Topic of the Week is the 4 Primary/Cardinal Virtues, how they can provide a great map for orientation and for navigating life, and how they are ultimately oriented towards seeking the Truth and the morally Good - originating in the Ancient Greeks.

Time stamps:

01:40 - Listener Question from Adam, Missouri

08:15 - The 4 Primary Virtues

And the two ongoing listener questions we'd love to hear your thoughts on are:

1. What is your favorite discovery/learning moment that you've had from reading medieval/classical literature? Is there a specific moment that changed your life or the trajectory of your life?

2. What is the biggest conundrum/dilemma you're trying to solve in your life at the moment? Then we'll try to connect this to the timeless wisdom from the old Traditions.

Please send us your thoughts on burningphoenix.substack.com, or by email at burningphoenix (at) substack.com!

Thanks for listening!
