Gregory B. Sadler - That Philosophy Guy

I bring philosophy into practice, making complex classic philosophical ideas accessible for a wide audience of professionals, students, and life-long learners. After a decade in traditional academic positions, I started my own business and began doing philosophical work in more practical contexts. I am an APPA-certified philosophical counselor, a public speaker, an author, an ethics trainer, and an executive coach (among other things!).

Here's the next Stoic Heart podcast episode. Andi and I discuss whether or not, for those in in a committed romantic relationship, being "good Stoics" would mean turning desire, attraction, pleasure, and connection off

I'm putting together an online class on virtue ethics hosted in my Substack, parts of it available to all, portions just to paying subscribers as a kind of perk for supporting my work. Opened up a new chat about it, looking for questions, confusions, etc. open.substack.com/chat/posts/174095af-1406-4744-8d…

In his letters, Seneca provides his readers with useful advice and perspective about grief and grieving. Even the sage (if they exist) will be affected to some extent. gregorybsadler.substack.com/p/classic-stoics-on-gr…

Here's my latest Sunday roundup. A bit somber of a selection this time, given what August 2 means for me

A lot of cuddling and pets with the kittens and the cats at Almost Home on my last open house shift. Two shaggy cats Miloh and Suzie Q in particular wanted to be close

The latest post in the Stoic Heart is a new dialogue between Andi and I about a trap a lot of people fall into when they get interested in personal improvement or take on a more robust philosophy as a way of life: thinking they need to optimize their life

Well. . . that's not quite right. Put the work in, and big portions will eventually make more sense. The real problem comes in when "make sense" gets used to mean making sense as a whole and Hegel also getting things fundamentally right. Let that desire go, and you do all right!
