It’s a weekly collection of what I call perennial reminders, insights, and maxims on the art of living. The term muse is an ancient one; it derives from ancient Greece and mythology. It typically has two meanings today: (1) a state of deep thought; (2) a source of inspiration. As I mentioned in a previous episode, each of the new series has its own distinct podcast cover.  Today’s episode includes a reminder on What Makes Life Meaningful, a maxim on Happiness, and an insight on the virtue of hope—by way of a short clip from my conversation with the philosopher Kieran Setiya (author of Life is Hard).  ---  🖇️ Stay Connected: Twitter: https://twitter.com/PerennialPodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/perennialmeditations/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PerennialPodsWebsite: https://www.perennialleader.com/---  🦉 Additional Resources Related to the Podcast: Explore the Perennial Meditations archive: https://perennial.substack.com/archiveListen to more podcasts: https://www.perennialleader.com/podcasts","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/K0SWA1P17zDd2DQ3XC34HPEVd8R4dgUngBLFpMn1gnY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hMzYw/NjZmM2VmNTk4NzU5/ZTY2YjBhNzhkODMy/MzVjYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
