In this ninety-sixth episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler revisit the current political, economic, and cultural situation we find ourselves within now that the Trump administration has been in power for several months.. A number of norms that people have taken for granted and trusted in over the the years were in the process of being gradually eroded, but now they are being undone or violated at a much more accelerated pace. That creates a number of understandable emotional responses, changes in motivation, and distorted patterns of thinking in many people.

Returning to this topic from the previous two episode, they discuss a number of useful practices and perspectives derived from philosophy that can help a person deal with this current situation better. These include:
The dichotomy of control, drawn largely from Stoic philosophy
Considering other times and cultures, drawn from a number of philosophical sources
Examining our emotional responses, drawn from Aristotelian philosophy
Cultivating our own garde, drawn from Voltaire's novel Candide
