The Resilient Mind · The Hidden Reason You Can't Stop Overthinking - Alain de Botton · 10 Jul 2026 podcast

You know, you were talking before, ask the sort of why beneath the why and getting below the neck as it's known in embodiment.

Okay, fantastic.

We have this very developed.

Who was that philosopher that talked about being a philosopher is like being a mouse with a huge oversized ear on its back.

You know, you have this one particular thing that you've grown to monstrous size.

And anybody that is smart can do the work.

But doing the work is just turning feelings into theories.

And I wonder, I'm interested in this temptation of how to overcome intellectualizing emotions as opposed to actually sitting and feeling them.

If you hold it too tightly, that's an issue.

I've got this visual in my mind, the difference between a way marker, which is being planted to give you an idea of the terrain, and a tether to which you are attached.

Oh, I can't move from this thing anymore.

This made sense five years ago when I first left university, and that explained where I was at.

And it gave the chaos in the world a sense of order.

I understood where I was going and what was happening.

Oh, if that no longer has accurate explanatory depth, I need to come up with a new theory.

And that's scary.

I have to start all over again.

You're telling me I have to start all over again?

With every passing day, I know less.

I love that.
