Pneuma by Daniel Finneran

“Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre; remorse is the poison of life.”

In Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 masterpiece, “Jane Eyre”, Mr. Rochester issues this stark warning to young Jane, the novel’s titular character and heroine. 

In this episode, we’ll focus on remorse, contrast it with regret, and implement techniques to relieve us of its heavy burden. 

I ask you, dear friend and listener, which of the two do you think is worse: 

Remorse? Or regret?

If you do, I’ll dedicate an entire episode to your thoughts. 

Be sure to visit my sister project, @finneranswake on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. I think you’ll really enjoy it; Finneran's Wake is where I have deep, probing, provocative conversations with a multitude of extraordinary people from all walks of life.

What is Pneuma by Daniel Finneran?

Mindfulness for the Thinking Mind.

A soothing, soporific voice with which to calm and center yourself.

Episodes on themes as diverse as walking, sleeping, stretching, anxiety, worldly possessions, positive affirmations, lunch hours, and morning commutes. Meditations and sleep stories for every occasion at any stage of life.

From Shakespeare to the Stoics, Coleridge to the Platonists, the Buddha to the Transcendentalists, we'll borrow our wisdom from the best who have ever thought, and strengthen our minds with their collective genius.

I hope you enjoy this content!
