The Philosophy of Wine: Ego, Happiness & The Illusion We Share | Corné van Nijhuis | Barrels & Roots
from Barrels & Roots · host Sean Trace
I sat down with Corné van Nijhuis - the world's first "vinosopher" for an episode that started as a casual glass of wine and turned into one of the deepest conversations I've had on this show. Corné spent years in finance before walking away to chase what actually lit him up: wine, metaphysics, and hospice work. We got into it all: the illusion of the ego, why we identify so strongly with our bodies and minds when neither is really "us," and how a single sip of wine can dissolve that illusion for a moment.What's one moment in your life where you felt completely present, ego gone, just fully there? Drop it in the comments, I'd love to hear it.
