In this episode, we follow a high school teacher who asks his students to examine \u201cthe good life\u201d through philosophy, Buddhism, and existential inquiry. We meet two women \u2014 a Buddhist monk and a disability rights advocate \u2014 who bring spiritual wisdom to the messy realities of illness, caregiving, and embodiment. Their stories, woven with reflections on impermanence, suffering, and compassion, offer a new way of thinking about uncertainty: not as something to fix, but as something to live with.
