10:57

"What did they mean by that text?" "Am I making the right decision?" "What if something does not go as planned?" Do you have a tendency (like me) to overthink and cause yourself mental stress and consternation for no good reason? Going with the flow is what our Stoic ancestors suggested to help curtail this self-punishment. I will explore this idea…

How Environment Shapes Moral Progress (Meditation 3.9) 29:01

5d ago29:01

29:01

This episode explores Meditations 3.9, where Marcus Aurelius urges us to revere our rational faculty. In Stoicism, rationality is our greatest gift—it’s the tool that allows us to pursue Virtue, shape our moral character, and ultimately live in accordance with Nature. But how do we cultivate this faculty, especially when our environment doesn’t sup…

There's an old Spanish proverb that says: "Don't speak unless you can improve on the silence."

What is Stoicism, really? 21:30

Modern interpretations of Stoicism are often wildly inaccurate, reducing the philosophy to a life hack for suppressing emotions, a tool for productivity-obsessed entrepreneurs, or a justification for toxic masculinity.

Our unhealthy wantingness to please others is no fault of our own. From a young age, we are trained to make the authority figure (parent, teacher, coach, manager, etc.,) happy and to do as they say. Later in life, this can translate into an unhealthy habit of trying to be a people pleaser whether we realize it or not. This human trait to try and pl…

Why Stoicism Teaches Us to Be Prepared for Death (Meditations 3.8) 20:18

In this episode, I explore Meditations 3.8 and the idea of preparing for death—not as a morbid fascination, but as a necessary step toward living justly and without fear.

Point to a human being who does not feel anxious at times, and I will point to a liar.

Should You Suppress Your Desires? 5:40

The most common misunderstanding about Stoicism is that it’s all about suppressing or burying our emotions. This tends to come from the confusion between Stoicism (upper case ‘S’) and stoicism (lower case ‘s’); the former is the ancient Greek philosophy that we learn about and practice, the latter is simply a “stiff-upper-lip” coping style.
