S2. Chapter 19: Who’s Stealing Your Time?

We don’t just lack time, we’ve been taught to feel guilty for wanting it. Using the Tao Te Ching as a lens, this episode explores how overwork, exhaustion, and ‘hustle culture’ hollow out our relationships and our inner lives.

Part meditation, part political commentary, and part Gen X reality check, Chapter 19 asks what it would look like to stop treating rest like a reward and start treating it like a human need.

A Tao Te Ching–inspired meditation on overwork, capitalism, and reclaiming time. Spiritual and political commentary from Gen X everyman Lloyd Dobler.
