We Have The Potential To Live A Good Life 4:37

4d ago4:37

4:37

“To live a good life: We have the potential for it,” writes Marcus Aurelius in his Meditations. “If we can learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference.” This good life is exactly what the ancient Stoics believed the practice of philosophy would allow us to pursue. In this episode, we look at how Stoicism can bring us internal clarity, the v…

The Illusion of Free Will? (Meditations 3.10) 23:04

4d ago23:04

23:04

In this episode, I explore Meditations 3.10, where Marcus Aurelius reminds himself—and us—that we only ever live in the present moment. He urges us to remember three things: life is short, the space we occupy is small, and fame is fleeting. But why does he emphasize this? Because knowing who we are and becoming the best version of ourselves is what…

Season 7; Episode 9 (129) - ON CHASING DREAMS - Stoicism For a Better Life Podcast 10:22

5d ago10:22

10:22

Pursue dreams that are in the future...OK. Now don't focus on the future...Huh? Pursuing dreams can seem paradoxical as a Stoic, for we are trying to live in the present moment, but dreams are in the future. So how do we reconcile the two? Let me clarify how our teacher differentiates the pursuit of goals and dreams from our happiness and tranquill…

"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?

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…

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

1M ago5:40

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.

In this episode, I explore Meditations 3.7, where Marcus Aurelius reminds us that nothing should take priority over Virtue.
