Chaos and Order Coach: Recent Episodes
Matthew
After teaching Philosophy and Religion for 13 years, I started the show for the personal applications of Philosophy. We should celebrate the order we have brought to our chaotic lives. But we are also responsible for most the chaos and you will probably bring more chaos into your life as you make it better. It takes work, it adds chaos; I am here to help. Join me, learn the simple truths and life hacks of the great thinkers and we will bring order to your chaos where we can and chaos to your world where you need.
In this episode, we discuss Epicureanism. While yes, they are all about pleasures, it is not always what you are expecting. We focus mainly on the Tetrapharmakon but also some of the other great quotes by Epicurus. Like this one:
It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely, honorably, and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and honorably, and justly without living pleasantly. Whenever any one of these is lacking, when, for instance, the man is not able to live wisely, though he lives honorably and justly, it is impossible for him to live a pleasant life.
Here is the link to the show I referenced with Proff. Emily Austin. The podcast is In Search of Wisdom, I have already downloaded a few more episodes to listen to around the house and I am sure it is about to become another of my favorite podcasts.

In this episode, we discuss Aristotle’s Poetry. He focuses on tragedy because we lost the comedy sections to history. Many tragedies have occurred throughout human history and in the last couple of years. It is much easier to learn from the tragedies of poems than from our own life.

In this episode, we discuss Napoleon Hill’s 1952 radio broadcast about Success Habits: Proven Principles for Greater Wealth, Health, and Happiness. He lists in Chapter 2 his Nine Motives: Love, Sex, Wealth, Self-Preservation, Freedom of Body and Mind, Personal Expression and Recognition, Life After Death, Revenge, and Fear.

In this episode, we discuss an Audible Original, Mel Robbins' Take Control of Your Life: How to Silence Fear and Win the Mental Game. Again, I have no affiliation with Mel or Audible, but I love them both. I only bought this audiobook because it was on sale and because it was by Mel Robbins, and I got more than my money's worth!
Here is a link to Mel Robbins’ book on Audible

In this episode, we talk about the last two months and why it was self-care time! Burnout kicked my ass! I experienced burnout for the first time in my life. It came along with the depression and anxiety that I know so well, but this time the cause was different. I was exhausted and did not even want to do the most basic self-care things I try to do on a daily basis. I, of course, let you know the steps I took to get out of that funk and welcome you to share your loved practices too on the social media page you follow me on.

In this episode, we wrap up our 3-week trek through Ethics. We very briefly mention some basics of Camus’s and Simone de Beauvoir’s ethics, a Heidegger’s lack of ethics. Then spend a second on Kierkegaard’s three stages of life, and spend most of the episode on Nietzsche’s first chapter, On the Genealogy of Moral (after a section or two of Beyond Good and Evil). This chapter in Genealogy is entitled “Good and Bad” “Good and Evil” and is the perfect answer to FlyinLion’s question.
FYI as I start a new semester, the new publish date is probably going to be on Thursday or Friday each week.

In this episode, we continue our 3-week journey into Ethics. Today we cover Mill’s Utilitarianism and Kant’s Deontology (with nods to David Hume). Mill’s Utilitarianism is all about the “right thing to do in this situation,” and has the catchphrase of “what is right is what brings the most amount of pleasure to the most amount of people over the most amount of time.” Mill is all about the consequences and Kant is all about the intent. Kant’s Deontological catchphrase is, “you ought to do what any other rational being ought to do in a similar situation.

In this episode, I give one final short message and illustration on our values, vision, mission, and goals. It is something I heard while driving to work yesterday in The Five Elements of Effective Thinking by Burger and Starbird.
Then we dive into possible titles for this show. Most of them come from song titles or lyrics that I love, from bands like Nirvana, Chris Cornell, Tom Petty, or Alice in Chains. Some of them are from random things I love like Zelda or Keys. If one of these titles or ideas resonates with you, reach out to me on social media and let me know, I will work up an episode for you.

In this episode, we work through writing our goals. We talk about the DAPPS rule and SMART rule. If we think and write about our goals each day, we will stay on mission and create our vision! Goals must be specific and measurable. When you focus on your goals, you will live your values daily!

In this episode, we work through writing purpose statements (also known as value statements or code of ethics) which come from our most important value. From that, we write our vision statement about the world/society we want to create. Then our mission keeps us focused on the daily work of bringing the vision to fruition as we live our values. Below are the links that I found the most helpful.

In this episode, I use Greg McKeown’s fantastic book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less as a springboard into values. I talk about my values of freedom, education, and integrity. When we do not keep our values in our minds, we often lose sight of our priority. But this also helps us make hard decisions; when you live by your values, you already know the answer to complex questions.

This episode examines what I have been building up to and dancing around for some time: how we create reality. We briefly discuss the top four religions of the world, which make up about six of the almost eight billion people on this planet right now. Then we dive into a conversation that happened in the 1600 and 1700s with Descartes, Locke, Hume, and Kant. Descartes gives us his wax example showing how it is not our senses which give us what we know, so do not trust our senses. Lock and Hume react to this with their empirical (with the senses) examples. But then Hume shows us that we also need to be skeptical of the senses. Kant comes along and uses both to show how we actively construct reality.

This episode examines Don Miguel Ruiz’s life-changing book: The Four Agreements, as we finish our 6-part series covering Chapters five and six. Chapter five is the fourth agreement of “always do your best.” And chapter six is about breaking old habits. We must first become aware of these old agreements that are plaguing us. Then spend just as much energy devoting ourselves to the new ones we choose!

This episode examines Don Miguel Ruiz’s life-changing book: The Four Agreements. I love this chapter because it might be the most Philosophical of them all. We look at how much chaos we cause in our lives and relationships by assuming so much about other people. Love means something different to every person, and we often fill in the gaps with assumptions to feel safe.

This episode examines Don Miguel Ruiz’s life-changing book: The Four Agreements. This might be one of the most important chapters for me, and I think you will also get a lot from it. Dr. Ruiz points out how selfish it is to take things personally. The context and advice he offers in this chapter is the great perspective we all need at one time or another. It has helped me heal some old and new wounds, and it is an honor to pass them on to you.
“Empathy without boundaries is self-destruction.” I found this site when I googled the quote to figure out who said it. https://www.delightfulmindset.com/10-reasons-empathy-without-boundaries-is-self-destruction/ I have never read their stuff before, but if it helps you, here it is. They also quote people I love!

This episode examines Don Miguel Ruiz’s life-changing book: The Four Agreements. The first of the agreements is being impeccable (sinless) with your word. One of the worse ways we can hurt someone is by saying something to them. One of the best ways we can make someone's day is to say, “I like your _____.” Promise yourself right now that you will start to become impeccable with your words. It starts small, try today or tomorrow to be aware of all your words.

This episode examines Don Miguel Ruiz’s life-changing book: The Four Agreements. This is the start of what might be a 5-part series and covers the first chapter, Domestication and the Dream of the Planet. I do not say this often, but this book helped me see the world differently. I love how Dr. Ruiz can point out exactly how much we assume about life. So many problems in life can be explained by how we take on everyone else's agreements and never consider making our own. Beyond this, we live to please others and avoid punishment so often while young that we continue to punish ourselves for the rest of our lives.

In this episode, we examine Confucius's relationship to highlight some of his favorite virtues. We all exist in most of the relationships of parent-child, sibling-sibling, spouse-spouse, friend-friend, and ruler-subject. Really, each day we have the opportunity to demonstrate and work on these virtues: reciprocity, quality, proper social behavior, piety, and culture. By intentionally living your life and fulfilling your responsibilities in all your relationships you can not only add some order to your life but also develop much deeper relationships with your loved ones.

In this episode, we examine a few key passages in Friedrich Nietzsche’s “The Gay Science.” We focus on his passages entitled, “The Unfree Man,” “The Greatest Weight,” and “In Mid Life.” This episode highlights how we can defeat the nihilism or meaninglessness of life and learn to live joyfully! It also applies Sartre’s phrase “existence precedes essence” from Episode 8. To truly live we must learn and laugh, study and dance, hear the music and read the books. https://linktr.ee/chaosandordercoach

In this episode, we dive deeper into some basic views of Existentialism to understand how we can live lives full of meaning and purpose based on our values. By examining Sartre’s quotes and ideas about “existence precedes essence,” we can realize our freedom to live authentically. Do not let “The Crowd, The One, The They, The Herd” tell you who you are or how to live. And we always have the freedom to transcend our past and redefine ourselves. https://linktr.ee/chaosandordercoach

Episode 8: Meaning, Nihilism, and Existentialism, Oh my
In this episode, we examine the difference between nihilism and existentialism. Discuss freedom and responsibility and how we can find meaning and purpose in everything that we do! It is a big ass universe and we must fight against our authenticity being overwhelmed by the crowd (the herd, the one, the they). It really does not matter if the universe is objectively nihilistic, you can still live each day subjectively finding meaning and/or purpose in everything that you do. https://linktr.ee/chaosandordercoach

In this episode, we examine some easy ways and reasons to set boundaries with friends and family. We discuss being clear, objective, giving choices, and setting consequences. Part of this advice comes from Marcus Aurelius and more from Aristotle. https://linktr.ee/chaosandordercoach

In this episode we dive deeper into the ancient roots of our thoughts and the basis of most personal development books today. Eventually, every motivating factor in your life will come down to either pleasure or pain. As we close out this three-part series on how our thoughts create our feelings and thus actions and consequences, we examine how much all of this is related to either pleasure or pain. I of course offer a few helpful tips, one from what may at first seem like an unlikely source: Kant’s An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment!

Ep. 5 Thoughts and Feelings 401: what we can control.
In this episode we dive deeper into the ancient roots of our thoughts and the basis of most personal development books today. We examine exactly what is in our control and some excellent tips from Mel Robbins to hijack our chaotic minds and restore order. Her 5-Second Rule is fantastic and her sage tool of asking “what if it all works out?” has helped me so much! Here are the two videos I recommend to get you starting with her fantasticness!

Most do not realize the profound effect our thoughts have on our lives. It is rarely the objective circumstances of life that cause our emotions, it is always our subjective thoughts about the objective circumstances that cause our feelings. However, it goes much further, our feelings then cause our actions and thus create the results or consequences of our actions. It all starts with our thoughts, but this is not a lesson on positive thinking.

Ep. 3 Plato’s Tripartite Soul
In this episode we dive into Plato’s idea of the tripartite soul consisting of the appetitive part, spirited part, and rational part. With this episode you should be able to identify which of these three parts is in control of your life. The good news is you get to pick. This episode will help you intentionally choose what kind of person you want to become. I also offer tools to help you see what you value as objectively as possible. With this in mind you can see if your values and actions align.

In this episode we dive into Aristotle’s ideas of the purpose (telos) of a human being. When we fulfill our purpose, we get something better than happiness: a permanent good spirit (blessed)! It might take some work, it might add a little chaos to your life, but in the end, it offers more than order or happiness, it enables you to have an excellent life.
