The Theory of Living
by The Theory of Living
The Theory of Living is a podcast and vlog passionate about exploring unique thoughts, ideas, and ways of living. By engaging with people from different walks of life and having meaningful conversation we wish to present ideas that may enable the listener and reader to transition from a state of being alive to one of living. “For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel, looking, looking breathlessly.” - Carlos Castaneda New episodes are released Thursdays for free, early access and full version of episodes are available for Patreon members every Tuesday.
