Summary: <p>Listen to episode 23 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Triumph of Idealism: Living a Life that Matters. Edited and adapted from How to Fight the Battles of Life by Carl Hilty. <br><br><strong>Podcast Excerpt</strong>: <em>Many people in our day and age, even well-intentioned people, have lost their faith in idealism. They regard it as something we outgrow after college, and something of little use in later life. Theoretically, they say, idealism has much to commend it, but, practically, things turn out to be brutally material. These individuals thus divide life into two parts: one where we may indulge ourselves in high-minded theories and sentiments, and, indeed, are to be encouraged in them; and the other where we wake rudely from this dream and deal with reality as best we can. </em></p>
