Full Episode
Ever feel like you've read the same self-help book a dozen times? Just a bunch of recycled platitudes.
Right. You're looking for some real guidance, something to shake things up a bit.
Well, buckle up, because on today's deep dive, we're talking 36 Rules for Life by Mason Carter. And trust me, this is not your average self-improvement guru.
Definitely not your average author. That's for sure. I mean, where else are you going to find someone who quotes Edgar Allan Poe and libertarian socialists in the same breath?
Talk about an eclectic mix. So who is this Mason Carter? Fill us in.
He's a bit of a Renaissance man, teaches English lit, has this whole thing for Gothic poetry, but then he's super passionate about social justice, equality, you know, the whole libertarian socialist thing.
Okay, so we've got Gothic lit and socialism. Those don't usually go together, do they? How does that work?
That's what makes Carter so interesting. He's not afraid of contradictions, of those shadowy parts of human nature that we often try to ignore. He actually thinks there's a lot we can learn from confronting the darkness head on.
So it's like he's embracing the duality of human nature.
