Several of our best current psychological treatment methods have strong roots in a philosophy called Stoicism. The good news is you don't have to be a philosopher or psychologist to apply the simple, powerful truths of Stoicism to enjoy a calm mind and stress free clear thinking.

One of the leading stoic philosophers was a Roman Emperor named Marcus Aurelius. Unlike most other emperors, everyday of his life he sought to be a better person grounded in rationality and natural law.

Thanks to Aurelius’ secretary who captured the Emperor’s many thoughts and observations, we have a rich resource of stoic guidance on how to live a happier, calmer, and more authentic life.

In this episode, we explore and apply to your everyday experience Marcus Aurelius’ observation:

“Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.”

You will discover a simple, powerful way to apply his wisdom to create a calmer, more neutral way of experiencing and dealing with the many day-to-day issues and stressors that show up in your life.
