Dangerous Wisdom Resources for Brad Hook Podcast Listeners
“Let no one delay the study of philosophy while young nor weary of it when old. For no one is either too young or too old for the health of the soul. He who says either that the time for philosophy has not yet come or that it has passed is like someone who says that the time for happiness has not yet come or that it has passed.” ~Epicurus
The time for genuine happiness—the time for true peace, freedom, and the fulfillment of your meaning, purpose, and potential—is here and now.
