In today’s (as always ad-free) podcast episode, I explore the profound concept of magnanimity and its application to everyday living, drawing inspiration from the teachings of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas.
Delving into the philosophical roots of magnanimity, I unravel its significance in fostering personal growth, resilience, and compassion in our daily lives.
Drawing inspiration from historical figures and modern examples, I explore how magnanimity — defined as a generous and noble spirit — contributes to living a compassionate life.
“It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses…There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.” ~C.S. Lewis

Donating = Loving
For over twenty years, my work and podcast have remained free (and ad-free) and vibrant thanks to support from listeners, followers, and readers. I have no staff, no interns, and no assistant. What you see (and hear and watch) is a one-woman labor of love that is also my life and my livelihood. If this labor has impacted your life in the past year (or the past decades), please consider aiding its sustenance by becoming a patron or by making a one-time donation. Your support makes all the difference.
