Matt Crawford speaks with Psychologist and author Daniel Chappelle about his book A Minimalist Ethic for Everyday Life. The Golden Rule of the Abrahamic religions says: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” In contrast, the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius says: “Don’t do to others what you don’t want for yourself.” Or as Chapelle puts it, "Don't be a schmuck." Philosophy and Psychology are often thought of as separate disciplines and Chapelle shows us how intertwined they are in an accessible, easy to understand and fun way. A thought provoking read that is sure to spur some interesting conversations.
