Adrian Fanaca's Podcast
Călărețul, Elefantul și Căutarea Fericirii

Ce înseamnă să trăiești o viață bună?
Acest podcast este o călătorie prin filosofie, psihologie, literatură și dezvoltare personală—acolo unde înțelepciunea antică întâlnește știința modernă. Ghidat de gânditori precum Jonathan Haidt, Proust, Seneca, Buddha și voci contemporane din psihologia morală, explorăm contradicțiile frumoase și dificile ale condiției umane.

Fiecare episod aprofundează idei mari—fericirea, iubirea, suferința, moralitatea și identitatea—prin metafore precum călărețul și elefantul și reflecții despre cum poveștile pe care ni le spunem ne modelează viața. Vei găsi citate care îți vor rămâne în minte, perspective reale și un ton calm și introspectiv, care te însoțește și după ce episodul se încheie.

Nu e un podcast de „self-help”. E un podcast de auto-cunoaștere.
Un spațiu pentru gândire profundă, simțire sinceră și, poate, rescrierea propriei povești.

Episoade noi la fiecare două luni.
Abonează-te și fă un pas conștient către interior.

The Divided Self, the Dancing Bear, and the Search for Happiness

What does it mean to live a good life?
This podcast is a journey through philosophy, psychology, literature, and personal growth—where ancient wisdom meets modern science. Guided by thinkers like Jonathan Haidt, Proust, Seneca, Buddha, and contemporary voices in moral psychology, we explore the messy, beautiful contradictions of being human.

Each episode unpacks big ideas—happiness, love, suffering, morality, and identity—through metaphors like the rider and the elephant, and reflections on how our stories shape our lives. Expect thought-provoking quotes, real-world insights, and a calm, reflective tone designed to linger long after the episode ends.

This is not self-help. It’s self-inquiry.
A place to think deeply, feel honestly, and maybe, rewrite your own story.

How your parents expected your family look like based on the place your were born

In this episode, I am exploring the various types of family types, from the exogamous community to the authoritarian and the egalitarian nuclear family. Even though the research of Emmanuel Todd, the main researcher behind this, was done a long time ago and seems outdated today, these old fashioned types are largely still relevant today and it seems family types influence political ideologies too.
