In this episode of the Daily Stoic, we delve into the teachings of Marcus Aurelius and the exemplary stoicism of Cato during a turbulent period in Roman history. We explore how Cato responded with indifference and acceptance when a prestigious military command was awarded and then swiftly revoked. Through this story, we learn the importance of receiving both honors and slights with the same level-headedness and the timeless wisdom of not letting external circumstances define us.
Join us as we discuss how the Stoic philosophy remains relevant in today's age of social media, where recognition and cancelation happen in the blink of an eye. Discover how adopting a stance of equanimity like Cato's can guide us through the highs and lows of life.
