This was an old recording from my YouTube channel. I re-uploaded here with remastered audio quality.

Drawing upon themes in Epictetus' Discourses, I talk about finding meaning in life - addressing barriers people may face to finding meaning & positive steps to achieve a sense of purpose.

I explore the philosophical tradition of Stoicism with goals to inform, empower, and help others benefit from the practical wisdom of Ancient Greek, Roman, and modern thinkers. I tackle many topics including handling adversity, finding meaning in life, working toward contentment, dealing with change, anger, and gratitude.
