How Acedia (Sloth) Afflicts Us, and What to Do About It (Develop with Dante, Ep.4)

Not caring isn't a strength, it's a weakness. Today we explore the tragedy of being unmoved by the good, true, and beautiful.
...
In Develop with Dante, we explore the age-old archetypes of self-development as found in the Divine Comedy. We travel together through the seven terraces of Purgatory to explore what Dante has to teach us not just about the afterlife, but about ourselves.

Each terrace of Purgatorio (Purgatory) represents one of the seven deadly sins. At each terrace, Dante shows us how these sins hold us back from achieving what we want in life, and he teaches us what to do to overcome them.

This video covers the fourth terrace of Dante's Purgatorio, the terrace of Acedia.
