The exhilaration of acquiring something quickly fades, and why do we crave even more new thrills?

The 19th-century philosopher Schopenhauer called wealth and fame "seawater that makes you thirstier the more you drink it."

Tonight, we'll explore the story of Tolstoy, the literary giant who drank that seawater to his heart's content and descended from the pinnacle of the world to silence.

A nocturnal philosophy to quietly put an end to our daily lives spent constantly worrying about what others think.

Just for tonight, gently put down your smartphone screen and listen to your own inner well.
