In this episode, we delve into the Stoic concept of "pathos," tracing its origins from ancient Greek philosophy and exploring its relevance in today's world. We discuss how the Stoics viewed pathos as excessive, irrational emotions arising from false judgments, contrasting it with 'apatheia' or emotional tranquility. Our journey includes practical ways to incorporate Stoic teachings into modern life, such as understanding and managing emotions, developing self-control, challenging irrational beliefs, and embracing resilience. Join us as we uncover how these ancient principles can offer guidance for a more balanced and rational approach to life's challenges.
