In this episode, I speak to Kai Whiting the co-author of Being Better: Stoicism for a World Worth Living In. Kai is a researcher and lecturer in sustainability and Stoicism based at the Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium. His main research interests are how to better account for resource use and the practical application of Stoic philosophy to the challenges of the 21st century. 

 In the conversation, Kai and I discuss:

  • Sustainability and Stoicism 
  • Success and letting go of the outcome
  • Why we are not our past mistakes
  • The difference between rules and principles
  • The importance of perspective and much more
