Description

Why It’s Okay to Be a Loser | Taoist Philosophy for the Unambitious, Failures and Nobodies Taoism for Inner Peace (book): https://einzelganger.co/tao/In today’s hustle culture, chasing ‘success’ is like a religious duty. People push each other to achieve, often at the cost of their wellbeing, leading to stress, anxiety, and burnout. Society glorifies “winners” and treats “losers” as pariahs, almost as if not achieving is a moral failing. But is this fair? Is being a “loser” really so bad?Video: Why It’s Okay to Be a Loser | Taoist Philosophy for the Unambitious, Failures and NobodiesSupport the channel: ✔️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/einzelgangster ✔️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/einzelgangerco🎞️ Animations and thumbnail art by Munkaa: https://www.youtube.com/user/jus7yBooks: (affiliate links): 📖 The Urge: Fall of a Stoic: https://amzn.to/3Yc77Kw 📖 Stoicism for Inner Strength: https://amzn.to/3rZU0xL 📖 Stoicism for Inner Peace: https://amzn.to/3e6myLX 📖 Loose: On Letting Stuff Go: https://amzn.to/3QVfrqM 📖 Unoffendable: https://amzn.to/35e23a5Merchandise: 🛍️ Shop: teespring.com/stores/einzelgangerstore 🛍️ Merchandise design by Punksthetic Art: https://www.youtube.com/user/JRStoneart#loser #taoism #tao00:00 Introduction 02:41 The modernday loser 06:34 The limitations of effort 09:40 Fortune and worth 11:51 Success and failure 13:23 Accepting destiny Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5star for new episodes.
