About this listen
Stoicism is tailored for the “good life.” It doesn’t emphasize abstract, philosophical musings, like many other philosophies that might seem irrelevant to day-to-day life. It doesn’t require an education, a stellar IQ, or wealth to begin following its principles. One of its major thinkers was actually a slave, and another was an emperor. Clearly it’s a philosophy as applicable to those at top as to those at the bottom, to those who’ve known the best of life as to those who’ve known the worst, to the rich as to the poor, to the healthy as to the sick - because there are no true obstacles to bettering ourselves. All of its ideas are accessible and practical, giving us advice on how to become virtuous and strong.
It’s tough, but it’s worth it. Stoicism won’t tolerate weakness, immobility, defensiveness, ignorance, laziness, self-victimization, or denying responsibility. It tolerates nothing but your best. And it doesn’t care about who you are, only about who you could be, which is just what we’ll be covering here - how you can become more by cultivating a Stoic mind and strengthening your mental resilience.
