The SCEGGS Podcast “Walk The Mile” Episode 50: What Do You Think?

Thanks to everyone that has had a listen to the podcast over the years. This episode is significant because it is our 50^th edition! Who would have thought? I have had so many enriching and interesting conversations over the last few years since we have been doing it and I am always amazed when people tell me that they have been listening. My initial objective was to create a platform that would serve the community in some way. I really hope that it has been helpful for you.

I often hear people say they overthink things. But when can you do too much thinking? This conversation is with a former student, Eleanor Gordon-Smith (Class of 2009). Eleanor is a philosopher, academic and has been writing an advice column for the Guardian Australia for the last four years. She has also published a book titled “Stop Being Reasonable”. We discuss the value of thought, the nature of advice and why we seek it and the place that doubt has in our beliefs. It might all sound pretty deep but I can assure you that there are plenty of examples and anecdotes that makes this conversation easily accessible.

And a reminder that we are published on Spotify, Apple, Google Podcast and Deezer, so you can access it easier from your preferred device. I always welcome your feedback or any ideas you may have for further episodes. You will find each podcast as they are produced in this newsletter and on the other platforms as well as our website.
