What the ancient Greek philosophers discovered about how to do life better.
Tamar Gendler is dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Vincent J. Scully Professor of Philosophy, and Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science at @yale. In this episode we talk about:
• The tension between our animal nature and our spiritual/intellectual nature
• How to define concepts such as “virtue”, “morality” and “the soul” 
• Whether living a moral life actually makes you happy 
• The similarities and differences between ancient Greek philosophy & Buddhism 
• And how Tamar has applied all of this to her own life

ABOUT THE TEN PERCENT HAPPIER PODCAST
Dan Harris is a fidgety, skeptical journalist who had a panic attack on live national television, which led him to try something he otherwise never would have considered: meditation. He went on to write the bestselling book, 10% Happier. On this show, Dan talks with eminent meditation teachers, top scientists, and even the odd celebrity. Guests include everyone from His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Brené Brown to Karamo from Queer Eye. On some episodes, Dan ventures into the deep end of the pool, covering subjects such as enlightenment and psychedelics. On other episodes, it’s science-based techniques for issues such as anxiety, productivity, and relationships. Dan's approach is seemingly modest, but secretly radical: happiness is a skill you can train, just like working your bicep in the gym. Your progress may be incremental at first, but like any good investment, it compounds over time.
