Contentment: finding what really matters (chapters 44-45) - a podcast by Corey Farr

Episode 31 looks at chapters 44 and 45, which are all about contentment. Lao Tzu asks some cutting rhetorical questions to make us evaluate our priorities, then he lays out a new vision for true success.

I open by giving the headline version of my crazy story over the past year, which I've shared pieces of in the past, and how I've learned to maintain contentment in the midst of it. The rest of the content is divided into two main parts:

1. Chapter 44 - Rhetorical questions: Fame or self, self or wealth, gain or loss - which ones are more important?
2. Chapter 45 - True perfection seems imperfect: Lao Tzu's upside-down vision of success and prosperity
