HOW TO WIN AGAINST LOSS...
Hello Stefan.
I have listened to you and your wonderful show on/off for years and enjoyed your insights and honesty. You have created a fantastic podcast, that I listen to very often, when I am doing monotonous, hard physical labor and need to let my mind work a bit also.
For that, thank you!
I have a question and would greatly appreciate your insight!
I am a male in my early thirties.
I have, for over a decade, struggled with quite debilitating pain in my back and neck, which would sometimes result in migraine-like pain in my head.
I have had a lot of test done, worked out regularly, talked to doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors, got X-ray and MRI, taken medication. But nothing have done the trick, until now.
The pain is becoming less and less of a problem, I have perhaps found out what the cause was. And now I am better that I have been for many years.
Problem is.
I am in my thirties, and feel like my twenties. The young, adventurous, forming years of my life, have been taken away from me. I didn’t get the education that I wanted. I didn’t get the experiences that I wanted. There’s a lot of things that I have missed out on, because of my physical pain - and mental despair and anxiety. Sometimes I have felt like a wounded animal - just getting by and make through another day was a success.
Despite all the hardship, I still managed to find the love of my live, and start a family. We have a beautiful 2-year old daughter, which fills me with pride and joy.
But, my problem is that: How do I reconcile with the fact that life in these crucial years haven’t been good, and how do I start to build up my self-esteem in regards to others my age that have achieved so much more, to get on with my professional life and pursue all the things that I so desperately have wanted for a long time.
Besides my family, I don't have a lot to show for my 30 years on this planet and I want that to change, sooner than later.
I hope you will read this on your show and I will definitely be listening.
Thank you and happy new years to you and your family.
(I have just signed up for Locals and will, of course also send a tip)

I Had Kids with the Wrong Woman! Listener Questions
In this episode, I tackle audience questions, starting with George St. Peterson's role in the Russia-Ukraine war and the importance of diverse opinions. I discuss the potential resurgence of Christianity in the West, emphasizing the need to apply rationality to moral discussions.
I explore the influence of childhood experiences on ethics and offer insights on co-parenting with an irresponsible partner, stressing the social context of relationship choices. Additionally, I analyze how welfare programs impact family dynamics and accountability and confront the complexities of free speech in incendiary contexts.
Finally, I reflect on originality in thought-sharing and encourage critical engagement with ideas amid widespread misinformation, expressing gratitude for the audience's support in navigating these discussions together.

NEW PREVIEW FOR SUPPORTERS - HELP STEF I HAVE NO FRIENDS! FREEDOMAIN CALL IN SHOW
Subscribers get early previews for shows!
"Hi Stef! My name is [x] and I've been listening to your show for a couple years now, my husband introduced it to me shortly after we got married. I've really enjoyed learning about philosophy and self-knowledge and have been applying it to my marriage and other relationship queries. I was hoping to talk to you about some struggles I've had maintaining relationships (friendships) throughout my life. I've never had a local friendship last more than a few years. I'm about to continue my self-knowledge work by going to a Christian group therapy (Freedom session) and I was told I would need a sponsor (a friend or relation) to closely connect with for these group sessions. It occurred to me that I don't have any close friends and no one I could ask (besides my husband). To me that is alarming. I feel as though I should have at least one long term close friendship. My husband and I talk about this often - how I often have difficulties maintaining friendships. I've ...
