This book by Plotinus came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: John Vervaeke. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“Plato's Dialogues and Plotinus' Ennead... I read Plotinus' Ennead on the nature of beauty or on the nature of One and contemplation”— John Vervaeke
The guest here is John Vervaeke: Professor of psychology and cognitive science at the University of Toronto, director of its Consciousness and Wisdom Studies Laboratory, and creator of the YouTube series Awakening from the Meaning Crisis and After Socrates. Cognitive scientist John Vervaeke unpacks four ways of knowing, flow, wisdom, and how an ecology of practices addresses the meaning crisis.
