I’m in my office holding a boombox with the wrapper of a Maxell cassette tape at my feet. I’m doing something I haven’t done in 30 years: recording the radio.

“Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love,” Charlie Brown once said. Indeed, being spurned by one’s crush, or, for that matter, by a friend or potential employer, not only ruins the taste of one’s favorite sandwich spread, but causes great psychological distress and even physical pain.

Podcast #941: How to Avoid Death by Comfort

2024/10/23

Note: This is a rebroadcast. Nietzsche’s maxim, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” isn’t just a sound philosophical principle. It’s also a certifiable physiological phenomenon; toxins and stressors that could be deadly in large doses, actually improve health and resilience in smaller, intermittent ones.
