What is happiness?
In this discussion, Caleb speaks with Marcus Hedahl, a philosophy professor at the US naval academy.
They discuss happiness, its subjective versus objective nature, the meaning of life, what we can and can't reframe, and much more.
It's an excellent conversation for understanding Stoicism, beginning with its account of happiness.
