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.
