Don’t Stir the Muddy Water

In this episode of The Living Conversation, we talk about what happens when the world feels too loud. From Taoist metaphors to YouTube algorithms, we explore how staying still…rather than grasping…becomes an act of clarity.Whether you’re dealing with media overload, political despair, or daily FOMO, this is a reminder that you don’t have to get pulled in. The Tao is always present; not in what’s next, but in what’s already here.

About the Podcast

The Living Conversation
Exlporing wisdom, practice, and the art of living well — East and West, then and now.
The Living Conversation is a podcast on philosophy, clarity, and the art of living well.

Hosted by Adam Dietz and Anthony Wright, it blends Eastern and Western wisdom, from Confucius and Socrates to the questions we face today.

We explore how to live with sincerity, presence, and joy; not in theory, but in daily life.

This show airs biweekly on KWMR, alternating with Dr. Wright’s program Attunement, and appears here in podcast form with added reflections and ways to stay connected.

For those drawn to a more thoughtful way of living, we invite you to join the conversation.
