Maimonides and the Good Life: Wisdom, Balance and Purpose

What does it mean to live a good life with wisdom, balance, and purpose?

In this episode of Monday Mornings with Peace, we explore the philosophy of Moses Maimonides, also known as Rambam. For Maimonides, the good life required us to care for the body, discipline our appetites, develop our character, serve others, and pursue knowledge of God while remaining humble about the limits of human understanding.

Through his life as a physician, philosopher, and Jewish scholar, we examine how our ordinary habits shape the people we are slowly becoming—and whether knowledge has made us wiser, or simply given the ego better arguments.
