Poster's Of History: Marcus Aurelius’ Big Bitch Manifesto

1 hour 2 minutes

Returning champion Dr Eleanor Janega comes back on the show to tell us about another Weird Little Guy™ - Marcus Aurelius, and the philosophy of 'Stoicism', beloved by nearly every strange LinkedIn Guy. Eleanor tells us about how the 'Stoicism' packaged in airport self-help books differs from its original Greek form, and how, throughout history, and even in its present, secular forms, Stoicism has largely been an intellectuallised form of cope.
