About this episode

Why does the gym so often lose out to the comfort of the couch? Kevin explores the philosophical concept of free will through the lens of desires and autonomy. Discover how reflecting on your deeper values can help you align your actions with the person you want to be—whether it’s about fitness or life’s bigger choices.

Get-Fit Guy is hosted by Kevin Don. A transcript is available at Simplecast.
