083: How To Cultivate Silence To Gain Wisdom And Heal Your Soul - Josef Pieper
Lessons from "Leisure: The Basis of Culture" by Josef Pieper.
This book challenges our contemporary work-centric culture and the idea of “total work,” where the ethos of work and productivity dominates every aspect of life. Pieper argues that this shift has led to a loss of meaning and a neglect of the liberal arts, which traditionally have been a space for leisure and the cultivation of individual freedom.
Josef Pieper was a professor of philosophy at the University of Munster. He was schooled specifically in Greek philosophy and Thomas Aquinas, law and sociology.

081: How To Reclaim Spiritual Clarity Beyond Material Noise - Chandogya Upanishad
Lessons from 'Chandogya Upanisad (https://amzn.to/3Dtpoeo)'
I recommend listening to '071: How To Build An Inner House of Peace Amid A Chaotic World - Juan Mascaró' first if you haven't already.
Chandogya Upanishad is one of the most cited texts in later Bhasyas (reviews and commentaries) by scholars from the diverse schools of Hinduism, with chapter six, verse 8-16 containing the famous dictum Tat Tvam Asi, Thou Art That. And the Chandogya is one of the oldest Upanishads, often listed as the 9th.
