Stoic Moment Podcast

You had a tough time, but you got through it.  Somehow, you came out stronger than before.

You doubted yourself and even now you can't believe what you were capable of when times got tough.

The Stoics believed that within each and every one of us there is a well of inner resources.  

Ready and waiting to be developed, honed and ready when called upon.

On today's episode we look at how the Stoics valued social responsibility, and what that means to you and I in the current global pandemic.

“To direct my every action toward what benefits us all and to avoid what doesn’t. If I do all that, then my life should go smoothly. As you might expect a citizen’s life to go—one whose actions serve his fellow citizens, and who embraces the community’s decree.” 

- Marcus Aurelius

Welcome to this bonus episode of the Stoic Moment Podcast.

This episode was recorded shortly after I had been informed that my interview for a promotion at work had been unsuccessful.  

I wanted to capture the application of Stoicism in the moment.  

The themes I discuss are some of the central Stoic ideas and are hugely transferrable to any challenges or difficulties that you may be going through right now.

It's a demonstration of Stoicism in action - as Epictetus said, turning words in to works.

Rather than simply speaking words of wisdom we have to actually use them to feel their benefits.

I've left in all of the 'errs' and 'umms' to show the organic nature of this bonus episode.  I hope you find value in listening.

Welcome back!!!

This is the third and final instalment of our 'Journey of Zeno' series.  

The life of the founder of Stoicism is full of examples that are absolutely relevant to our modern times.  

I'm sure you can relate...

(Side note - apologies for the wait between episodes.  This one has been written for quite a while but I've been on my own journey of turning adversity in to opportunity so it's taken me longer than I'd have liked to get it finished for you all)

Gavin here, welcome to another episode of the Stoic Moment Podcast!

Episode 2 on the journey of Stoicism's founder, Zeno.  

We look at the events which happened after Zeno's arrival in Athens and how a chance encounter would lead him to finding his philosophical mentor.

As always, the historic events still provide us with so much contemporary guidance.  

The adversity Zeno faced and more importantly, the choices he made in the aftermath were the moments that shaped history.

Welcome to season two of the Stoic Moment Podcast!

In this episode we look at one of Seneca's Moral Letters: 'On the Lesson to be Drawn from the Burning of Lyons.'

We use Seneca's works to introduce the Stoic concept of Premeditatio Malorum; a means of preparing for adversity and strengthening ourselves for challenging times.

"All the works of mortal man have been doomed to the laws of mortality, and in the midst of things which have been destined to die, we live!" - Seneca
