EP. 41 - Home: Where Is Home, Really? On belonging, restlessness, place and being where you are. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Where is home? I’ve lived in different countries, spent six months travelling, and often chosen to stay somewhere long enough to experience what it actually feels like to live there. I love the perspective that comes from being somewhere unfamiliar. You see different ways of living, question assumptions you didn't realise you had, and sometimes discover a different version of yourself. But it has also made me wonder: What actually makes somewhere feel like home? In this episode, I explore: Why I
EP. 40 - Friendship: What Is Friendship For? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Friendship: What Is Friendship For? Episode 40 of Sutterfaction: Philosophy for the Good Life Why do adult friendships quietly disappear? Sometimes there is no falling out. No dramatic ending. Life simply changes. Work gets busier. Children arrive. People move. Ambitions shift. Energy changes. Values change. One day you realise you haven't spoken to someone you once spoke to every day.

Read excerpt
Attention: What Owns Your Attention Owns Your Life Where is your attention right now? It's a simple question, but perhaps not such a simple one. Following last week's conversation about mortality, Evan explores what happens when we turn our attention towards attention itself. We might believe we're choosing where to place it, but how often is something else holding the flashlight? A notification. A headline. An ambition. A worry. A memory. A phone. Someone else's agenda. And if our attention is
EP. 37 - Death, Impermanence, and Learning How To Live (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode Evan explores: Why we tend to treat death as something distant and abstract. What a minor health scare can reveal about the fragility of life. Why contemplating mortality can actually make life feel more vivid. The strange Western discomfort around talking about people who have died. How other cultures can offer different ways of keeping the dead present in everyday life. Why knowing intellectually that we're going to die isn't the same as living as though we know it . What happe
