    165: Why You Have a Toxic Relationship With Money (and how to heal) - Carl Jung

    18/04/2026 | 20 mins.
    Why You Have a Toxic Relationship With Money (and how to heal) - Carl Jung
    Carl Jung was a Swiss psychologist who believed that the way you handle money—whether you’re hoarding it, wasting it, or terrified of it - is actually a mirror reflecting your deepest feelings about yourself. Jung famously said that until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it 'fate.' This is why you might keep hitting the same financial walls, make the same financial mistakes and blame it on bad luck or a bad economy. It feels like an invisible force is sabotaging your progress, making sure you stay stuck in the same spot no matter how hard you work.  In this video, we will explore how to identify these patterns and heal your relationship with money, all from the philosophy of Carl Jung.
    So here are 6 ways you could heal your relationship with money, all from the philosophy of Carl Jung
    01. See Money as Your Life Energy
    02. Identify your Financial Shadow
    03. Confront the "Money Complex"
    04. Find your archetype
    05. Use Active Imagination
    06. Withdrawing Your Projections
    I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope these 6 ways you could heal your relationship with money, all from the philosophy of Carl Jung will add value to your life.
    Carl Jung, together with Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, is one of the 3 founders of psychoanalysis which is a set of psychological theories and methods aiming to release repressed emotions and experiences - in other words, to make the unconscious conscious. Jung was born in Switzerland in 1875 and died in 1961, leaving behind great works in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology and religious studies. Jung had Freud as a mentor for a good part of his career but later he departed from him. This division was painful for Jung and it led him to found his own school of psychology, called analytical psychology as a comprehensive system separate from psychoanalysis. If classical psychoanalysis focuses on the patient’s past, as early experiences are very important in personality development, analytical psychology primarily focuses on the present, on mythology, folklore, and cultural experiences, to try to understand human consciousness. One of the most important ideas of analytical psychology which Jung founded is the process of individuation, which is the process of finding the self - something Jung considered an important task in human development. While he did not formulate a systematic philosophy, he is nonetheless considered a sophisticated philosopher - his school of thought dubbed “Jungian philosophy”. Its concepts can apply to many topics covered in the humanities and the social sciences. A good part of his work was published after his death and indeed there are still some articles written by him that to this day have yet to be published. Some of his most important books are: “Psychology of the Unconscious”, “Man and His Symbols”, “The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious”, “Modern Man In Search of a Soul”, “The Psychology of the Transference”, “Memories, Dreams, Thoughts”, and “The Relations Between the Ego and the Unconscious”. Besides being a great writer and a researcher, he was also an artist, a craftsman and even a builder. His contribution is enormous and there is a great deal we can learn from his works.

    164: 7 Life Lessons From Albert Camus (Philosophy of Absurdism)

    15/04/2026 | 20 mins.
    7 Life Lessons From Albert Camus (Philosophy of Absurdism)
    In this podcast we will be talking about 7 Life Lessons From Albert Camus. Albert Camus is one of the most representative figures of the philosophy of the “absurd” or “absurdism,” and his philosophy has inspired a lot of  people in dealing with the absurdity of life. 
    So with that in mind, here are 7 important lessons that we can learn from Albert Camus - 
    01. Create your own meaning for life
    02. Don’t make happiness a distant goal
    03. Don’t be ignorant
    04. Be a rebel
    05. Spend time with yourself
    06. Be flexible
    07. Choose Love
    I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope these 7 Life Lessons From Albert Camus will add value to your life. 
    Albert Camus is one of the greatest French writers and thinkers. He was a philosopher, an author and a journalist. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 and his most famous works are The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall, and The Rebel. Camus is one of the most representative figures of the philosophy of the “absurd” or “absurdism,” which is a philosophical movement having as its central hypothesis that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe. Camus considered that absolute freedom must be balanced with absolute justice - too much freedom leads to the situation when the strong suppresses the weak but too much justice kills freedom, and we need to live and let live. As a promoter of the philosophy of the “absurd”, Camus believed that life has no meaning, that the universe simply exists and that it is indifferent to people’s lives. We are like Sisyphus from Greek mythology, forever carrying that heavy rock to the top of the hill, although we know the rock will always fall down and our life's work is meaningless. Our condition might be tragic, but Camus considered that this exact condition hides a blessing in disguise: life does not have a meaning, but we are free to attribute it any meaning we want. His philosophy has inspired a lot of  people in dealing with the absurdity of life and even today, his philosophy is extremely relevant.

    163: How To Get Rich Ethically (And Stay Rich) - Buddha (Buddhism)

    12/04/2026 | 18 mins.
    Buddha - How To Get Rich Ethically (Buddhism). In this video we will be talking how to get rich ethically from the philosophy of Buddha. Gautama Buddha was a philosopher, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who is credited as the founder of Buddhism.
    The Buddha didn't see wealth as a sin; in fact he saw it as a "skilful means" to protect your family, support your community, and find a deeper spiritual freedom. It is recorded that Buddha spent much of his time advising successful merchants, financiers, and kings on how to grow their empires. He understood that getting rich is easy, staying rich,  and staying happy - requires a specific kind of internal and external discipline which he called "Right Wealth," a way of living where your bank account grows without losing their souls. In this video, we are going to explore how to earn money ethically, from the philosophy of Buddha. 
    So with that in mind, here are 5 ways to how to get rich ethically from Gautama Buddha -
    01. Practice Right Livelihood
    02. Be competent and resourceful
    03. Implement the 1:2:1 Wealth Management Formula
    04. Have The Four Kinds of Happiness
    05. Adopt a Custodian Mindset
    I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope these 6 ways to stop overthinking from Gautama Buddha will add value to your life.
    The Buddha was a philosopher, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who is credited as the founder of Buddhism. He was born as Siddhartha Gautama in India in 566 BC into an aristocratic family and when he was twenty-nine years old, he left the comforts of his home to seek the meaning of the suffering he saw around him. After six years of arduous yogic training, he abandoned the way of self-mortification and instead sat in mindful meditation beneath a bodhi tree. On the full moon of May, with the rising of the morning star, Siddhartha Gautama became the Buddha, the awakened one. The Buddha wandered the plains of northeastern India for 45 years more, teaching the path or Dharma he had realized in that moment. Around him developed a community of people, drawn from every tribe and caste, devoted to practicing this path. Nowadays, he is worshiped by most Buddhist schools as the enlightened one who has escaped the cycle of birth and rebirth, transcending Karma. Their main teachings focus on their insight into duhkha meaning “suffering” and into Nirvana, which means the end of suffering.
