This podcast both examines and inspires a certain approach towards life that is based both on personal philosophies and on, more importantly, the writings of people such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. The host, while working in technology for a major corporation, holds a Master's in English Literature and is a true Romantic.
In "The Problem of Perfection," I address the flaw many of us have in so often, unknowingly, expecting perfection, and I look at how this is illuminated in part by Samuel Johnson's Rasselas.

This point is not quite on topic with what you were talking about but here goes: I always appreciate a brain freeze from eating cold foods because the feeling I get when it goes away is so great that it almost makes having the freeze worth it. I feel better, right after it goes away, than I did before I had it.
That is classic! Very funny. I never thought of that before... seeking out something painful just to experience the joy of recovery. Sometimes I feel jogging is like that.
