Espresso Epilogues

Hi friends! This episode is originally on Godesulloh Bawa's (our dear friend + your favorite philosophy influencer) podcast called Vibes. He's kindly letting us repost it here too because he's just that nice. Enjoy this long, unedited conversation where the three of us discuss Alain de Botton's Essays in Love, and dive into the philosophy of love through it!
