We hear from Marcus Aurelius to focus strongly on doing what is right, one thing at a time. We learn that the impediment to action can reveal the way forward.
We hear from Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius as they explain why it is foolish to seek the popular opinion.
A beautiful part of Stoicism is we have this wisdom to guide us on our journey and help answer our questions.
More wisdom from PLutarch
Despite having some criticisms of Stoicism Plutarch also had many views that aligned perfectly well with the Stoic world view.
Marcus Aurelius explains how we can reframe events that we go through to view them more favourably.
A beautiful description of what is at the heart of Stoic philosophers 🫶
Our first Quote from Marcus Aurelius. Enjoy!
Our first episode quoting Epictetus. It is worth noting that Epictetus was a literal slave in his youth, which adds even more to his use of the term.
