“Think Better Soon: The Power of Less (Through Stoicism)”

In this episode, Jason and JP unpack how Stoicism isn’t about giving up pleasure or ambition—it’s about choosing less of what doesn’t serve you, so you can focus on what truly matters.

They explore five key areas where less equals more:

  1. Less Emotional Reactivity – Feel your emotions, but don’t be ruled by them. When you pause before reacting, you gain clarity and power.

  2. Less Attachment to Wealth or Status – True wealth isn’t in possessions, but in needing less. Goals are fine—just don’t let them own your peace.

  3. Less Focus on the Uncontrollable – Put your energy where it counts: your mindset, your actions—not things beyond your control.

  4. Less Clutter (Physical & Mental) – Simplicity brings freedom. Fewer distractions = more presence and power.

  5. Less Ego, More Empathy – Humility and compassion are Stoic strengths. Drop the comparison, embrace the connection.

🎯 Final takeaway? Less isn’t lack. It’s freedom. Freedom to think clearly, live intentionally, and stay grounded in what truly matters.
