Andrew Perlot is a writer and practitioner of philosophy across many life domains. Having used philosophical principles to overcome obesity, depression, and manage ulcerative colitis for decades, he is a living example of the power of curious and virtuous living.
We discussed lessons from Marcus Aurelius, Socrates, Epictetus, Musonius Rufus, and Seneca; the idea of common stock/collective knowledge; virtue applied individually vs collectively; benefits of religion, philosophy, and cognitive behavioral therapy; labeling of yourself and others; self-experimentation, living through virtue; partner acrobatics; the power of surrender and communication; and much more.
There are levels to all things. This conversation confirmed the depth and breadth of understanding Andrew has on philosophy which comes across in his exceptional writing.
I can’t recommend his work enough.
