Welcome to I am Max.

About this Episode:

Cutting the Strings of Distraction: A Talk with Marcus Aurelius and Viktor Frankl

In this episode, host Max Roeck delves into the philosophies of Marcus Aurelius and Viktor Frankl, exploring how external forces and internal drives can act like puppet strings, manipulating our behaviours and emotions. Drawing parallels between the distractions faced by the philosopher-king and those of our modern world, from engineered food products to addictive social media apps, he advocates for greater internal awareness and strong personal values to resist becoming mere pawns. The episode encourages listeners to strive to be more than just puppets of their environment and internal drives, and highlights the role of philosophy in helping to build this awareness.
