We are Asher and Robert, hosts of the podcast Learning To Live (LTL).
Each episode breaks down different schools of thought across health, performance, philosophy, and personal development to understand what actually works.
Our goal is to demystify the black box of “fulfillment” by actively implementing what we learn into our own lives, and sharing the results honestly, regardless of outcome.
As two guys in our early 20’s, we don’t have the answers, but through self-experimentation, research, and conversation, we hope to document our authentic struggle and progress.
This episode we're tackling a question that's been sitting with us for a while: are hard things actually worth doing? We get into why struggle feels tied to reward, why rarity makes things valuable in the first place, and whether we're just manufacturing hardship for ourselves now that survival isn't really at stake anymore.

Where Modern Stoicism Goes Wrong
Stoicism has exploded in popularity, but has modern self-improvement completely misunderstood it?
In this episode, we debate 5 claims about modern Stoicism, from whether it's become nothing more than productivity advice and social media quotes to whether it's being used as a tool for wealth, status, and emotional suppression instead of character and virtue. We also discuss the influence of the manosphere, the commercialization of Stoicism, and why the philosophy may be more relevant today than ever, if we return to what the ancient Stoics actually taught.
If you've only encountered Stoicism through short-form content, this conversation might change how you think about it.

The Ancient Code for Becoming a Better Person
Most of us know the kind of person we want to become, but actually living that way is much harder. What if the answer isn't another productivity system or life hack, but a 2,000-year-old philosophy?
In this episode of Learning To Live, we explore the four core virtues of Stoicism: Wisdom, Courage, Temperance, and Justice. We discuss how they provide a practical framework for making better decisions, handling adversity, and living with greater intention. We also share the Stoic challenge we'll be implementing in our own lives to see whether these ancient ideas still hold up today.
We hope you enjoy!
