Описание: What does it mean to have convictions? In this episode, we explore the privilege and the heavy burden of holding deep-seated beliefs. We explore why convictions are the bedrock of a meaningful life, providing us with purpose, direction, and a sense of identity. We also confront the real costs of conviction—the loss of comfort, social friction, and, for some, the ultimate sacrifice.
