Episode: The Socratic Approach to Death (Featuring a Good Helping of Alan Watts)
Description: When faced with a terrible unknown, sometimes the best place to look for guidance is in ancient wisdom. Death is one of these unknowns.

Alan Watts too may serve helpful to some.Tony Talks Back: Philosophy and Literature https://linktr.ee/tonytalksback PODCAST Yout...
