The One Thing That Can’t Be Co-Opted

In this episode of The Living Conversation, we reflect on how to live wisely in a world that often feels broken. From Confucian teachings on harmony and propriety to the Taoist return to stillness, this conversation touches on what we can actually control and what no system, ideology, or moment in history can take away.

Through stories of the I Ching, personal awakening, and a daughter's wisdom, we explore the quiet, continual path of self-cultivation and why it may be the most important work we ever do.

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.
