Meditations For (Single) Mortals

from Solo – The Single Person’s Guide to a Remarkable Life

What if the key to a remarkable life isn’t doing more—but doing less, better? In this episode, Peter McGraw welcomes author Oliver Burkeman to explore themes from his latest book Meditations for Mortals. They dive into the beauty of limits, the folly of perfectionism, and why embracing imperfection might be the most productive thing you can do. Tune in for kayak metaphors, scruffy hospitality, and practical wisdom for the Solo life. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! https://www.petermcgraw.org/solo
