Welcome to Martin Butler's thought-provoking podcast series, where he dives deep into the nature of emotions, reason, and what it truly means to live a meaningful life. In these podcasts, Martin challenges widely held beliefs, encouraging listeners to question the pedestal we place emotions on and to explore the transformative power of reason.

Martin defines reason not as cold, robotic logic but as the pursuit of what is good—both for oneself and for others. His engaging talks expose the pitfalls of being driven solely by emotions, which, while deeply human, often lead to inconsistency, suffering, and even harm when left unchecked. Drawing inspiration from thinkers like Gurdjieff and Spinoza, Martin unpacks complex ideas with clarity and wit, offering insights into how reason, paired with self-awareness, can lead to compassion, kindness, and freedom from coercion.

These podcasts are more than just discussions—they’re an invitation to rethink your perspective on life, humanity, and the world around you. Martin is keen to expand his work further, exploring deeper topics and offering more practical insights, but he needs your support to make it happen.
