The quiet influence of Bertrand Russell
Hey friends - today we're looking at Bertrand Russell, a profoundly influential and prolific British philosopher. He was also someone who exhibited many quiet habits and behaviours, of which I've become fascinated in over the past couple of months. We explore his life, and draw out insights that will hopefully help you to live a more influential and exciting, yet quiet life. Resources mentioned: Deep Work. Cal NewportThe Spirit of Solitude: Bertrand Russell, Ray MonkA History of Western Philosophy, Unpopular Essays, The Conquest of Happiness (Bertrand Russell)I've also been working on a new weekly-ish newsletter which you can find here: https://buttondown.com/guyroberts21Quotes from this episode (Bertrand Russell): "A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy can live.""In adolescence, I hated life and was continually on the verge of suicide, from which, however, I was restrained by the desire to know more mathematics.""We are all prone to the malady of the introvert, who, with the manifold spectacle of the world spread out before him, turns away and gazes only upon the emptiness within."Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day :)

The superpower of a weak social battery
Hey friends - today's episode is about why I believe it's actually a benefit to have a weak "social battery", typically as an introvert.I share my ideas on how to reframe the challenge of wanting to be able to socialize more with other people, as well as some things that we can do to support the recharging when you do feel drained.I'm aware there's been a long gap since I last uploaded...! I've been preparing for the upcoming travel, where the format of the podcast will change. I'll be sharing the links for where you can follow my journey. I plan to write, podcast, and vlog (and take some amazing photos!) whilst traveling.If you have any feedback of comments, please let me know :)Feel free to leave a voice note : https://podline.fm/quiet-superpowersNote: I would never share a voice note on the podcast without asking.
