The Philosopher Peasant

It’s been a long week. You’re stressed, you’re tired, you’re feeling the creeping tendrils of burnout. What’s the solution? The modern world has a ready-made, beautifully packaged, and highly Instagrammable answer: ✨ self-care✨ The prescription is familiar. Run a hot bath with an expensive bath bomb. Light a scented candle that costs as much as a good bottle of wine. Slather on a luxurious face mask. Do some yoga. Meditate with a mindfulness app. Journal your gratitude. Pour
