About this listen

Tom and Dorion reveal themselves to be the ultimate Marcus Aurelius stans as they review their conversation with the ever-popular Stoic philosopher. You’ll probably agree our world would be much better off if our leaders had even one iota of Aurelius’ character — and philosophy.

Topics discussed:

Virtue-driven vs. ambition-driven leadership (and, relatedly, a musing on if politicians had garage sales…)
What Stoicism and Buddhism have in common
The pitfalls of human reasoning
A dog’s tale about how to view your enemies, plus the consequences of rage
The power of Nature (and how doing what comes naturally can be the most heroic move of all)
Why everyone in Cirque du Soleil owes Aurelius a debt of gratitude
