Modern philosophers should not be people separate from life, sitting in a high chair twiddling their thumbs whilst thinking about insignificant topics.

Nor should they be skinny turtle neck wearing weak men who can come up with a good reason for why god doesn’t exist but can’t keep their relationships together.

Centuries ago, Pythagoras was a boxer. Plato was a wrestler. Xenophon was a soldier and Marcus Aurelius was a leader of an empire. 

A philosopher is someone deeply immersed in life, not just the intellectual path. Someone fascinated with the topic of how to be a better human being and get closer to wisdom and the truths of life.

A philosopher is physically, mentally and spiritually strong.

In this video I’m going to explain why being as strong as the knowledge we hold is the key to the deep life. And by strong I mean that in every sense.
