About this Episode:

The Power of Indifference: Mastering Your Desires

This episode, hosted by Max Roeck on 'I'm Max,' explores the concept that desires can make one a servant to others, as posited by Seneca. In contemporary society, instances of voluntary interaction with tyranny, such as accommodating a controlling boss or altering expressions for group acceptance, exemplify how desires grant others power over us. The episode discusses how overcoming these desires leads to freedom, using the example of fashion photographer Bill Cunningham, who maintained his independence by occasionally refusing payment for his work. The central message is that indifference to external rewards can transform the greatest power into no power over one's life. The host encourages listeners to subscribe for more insights and to share their experiences on social media.
