Stoicism teaches us to look inward, and to do more with less. Prior to COVID-19 it was difficult to imagine how much I could trim.
I delayed buying a new car, cut back going to dinner, had less exotic holidays.
Braver people then I may have even abstained. But I couldn’t cut things back all the way because of social pressure and the lack of imagination.

EP 47 - What would less look like?

The ones promoted are the cool heads.
The deeply respected friends are those who remain calm.

Stoicism is a 2,000 year old philosophy which you can adapt to your leadership at work, or in your personal life.

If it was good enough for Emperor Marcus Aurelius of Rome, it may be good enough for us.

To me, stoicism merges questions of meaning of life, consciousness and the practicalities of functioning as the best human you can be.

This podcast is a diary which touches on a different topic of stoicism each post.
