In this episode, Mark Rowland attempts to unlock the wisdom of dogs and discusses what they know about living a good life. He takes on some of life’s biggest, weightiest questions, like, what is meaning, how should we live, and explores them through the lens of our four-legged companions. It’s about philosophy. It’s about dogs, and it’s about the age old question of how to live a good life.

Key Takeaways:

  • Dogs live without the burden of reflection, which allows them to be fully present and undivided.
  • Meaning in life is more important than the meaning of life—it’s found through alignment with who we are.
  • Dogs are natural philosophers, offering insights through their simplicity and joy in daily life.
  • Humans live two lives—lived and examined—while dogs live one, leading to greater contentment.
  • Dogs embrace small pleasures with full-hearted joy, something humans often overlook.
  • Love is central to a meaningful life, whether expressed through connection, passion, or presence.
