- Episode 16: Suicide, Finding the Will to LiveI explore passages in Seneca's 'Letters from a Stoic' relating to the topic of suicide which can encourage people to find the will to live working to improve by taking action; enduring suffering; having a sense of gratitude; having hope for the future; reflecting on past accomplishments; accepting elements of chance and inevitability in life; being mindful of thoughts and emotions to have insight motivated toward change; preparing for hardships; being strong and brave; considering the impact suicide can have on others; and finding meaning in life.My Stoic Philosophy series explores the tradition of Stoicism with goals to inform, empower, and help others benefit from practical wisdom of Ancient Greek, Roman, and modern thinkers including Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca.For the Stoics, a main focus is pursuing virtue to attain a well-examined life through practical applications of Philosophy – acting with good character, using reason to form accurate careful judgments about the world, and achieving contentment. Stoic writers focus on many perennial human concerns and urge people to take action applying what they learn to everyday life. Self-improvement -- strengthening and improving one's mindset and life -- is central to Stoic thought.Find Justin Vacula online and listen to past content:Main website: http://www.justinvacula.comSoundCloud: http://www.soundcloud.com/justinvaculaYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/justinvaculaStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/justin-vacula/stoic-philosophyFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/justinvaculaTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/justinvaculaInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/justinvaculaTwitch: http://www.twitch.tv/justinvaculaSupport:Donate: http://justinvacula.com/donate/Like, share, subscribe!Epictetus' Discourses:https://www.amazon.com/Discourses-Epictetus-Handbook-Fragments-Everymans/dp/0460873121/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1478049820&sr=8-2&keywords=epictetus+discoursesMarcus Aurelius' Meditations:https://www.amazon.com/Meditations-Thrift-Editions-Marcus-Aurelius/dp/048629823X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493590216&sr=8-1&keywords=marcus+aurelius+meditationsSeneca's Letters to a Stoichttps://www.amazon.com/Senecas-Letters-Stoic-Thrift-Editions/dp/0486811247/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1493590249&sr=8-3&keywords=seneca+letters+from+a+stoicStoic Philosophy – Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy:http://www.iep.utm.edu/stoicism/Massimo Pigliucci's Stoicism blog:https://howtobeastoic.wordpress.com/Stoic Philosophy Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/Stoicism/16 min

- Episode 13: FriendshipWhat does a good friendship look like? Who should we admit into our circle of friends? Which qualities should we look for in people? How should we engage with our friends? What are some benefits of social relationships? How can we share our thoughts and feelings with friends? How many friends should we have? Should we, after failure to acquire good relationships, isolate ourselves and give up? I'll discuss these items and more today alongside passages from Seneca's Letters From A Stoic.My Stoic Philosophy series explores the philosophical tradition of Stoicism with goals to inform, empower, and help others benefit from practical wisdom.

For the Stoics, a main focus in life is pursuing virtue to attain a well-examined life through practical applications of Philosophy – acting with good character, using reason to form accurate careful judgments about the world, and having contentment through casting away anxiety and certain desires. Stoic writers focus on many perennial human concerns and urge people to take action applying what they learn to everyday life. Self-improvement is central to Stoic thought – strengthening and improving one's mindset in order to have a better quality of life. Even though many Stoic writers are centuries removed from us, their wisdom endures and is extremely relevant to our time.Find Justin Vacula online and listen to past content:Main website: http://www.justinvacula.comSoundCloud: http://www.soundcloud.com/justinvaculaYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/justinvaculaStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/justin-vacula/stoic-philosophyFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/justinvaculaTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/justinvaculaInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/justinvaculaTwitch: http://www.twitch.tv/justinvaculaSupport:Donate: http://justinvacula.com/donate/Like, share, subscribe!Epictetus' Discourses:https://www.amazon.com/Discourses-Epictetus-Handbook-Fragments-Everymans/dp/0460873121/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1478049820&sr=8-2&keywords=epictetus+discoursesMarcus Aurelius' Meditations:https://www.amazon.com/Meditations-Thrift-Editions-Marcus-Aurelius/dp/048629823X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493590216&sr=8-1&keywords=marcus+aurelius+meditationsSeneca's Letters to a Stoichttps://www.amazon.com/Senecas-Letters-Stoic-Thrift-Editions/dp/0486811247/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1493590249&sr=8-3&keywords=seneca+letters+from+a+stoicStoic Philosophy – Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy:http://www.iep.utm.edu/stoicism/Massimo Pigliucci's Stoicism blog:https://howtobeastoic.wordpress.com/Stoic Philosophy Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/Stoicism/15 min

- Episode 10: Coping with Grief and DeathImproving our mindset by studying Stoic Philosophy and being more mindful of our emotions can help us better cope with grief and death. We can have a radical acceptance of that which happens around us recognizing what is outside of our control and enduring adversity so as to not be overcome by chance events.We can seek an inner happiness, contentment, through acceptance and focus on our mindset and the things we can control. In recognizing our own mortality, we can be compelled to live a good life rather than squandering our time. We can think of death as an inevitable change largely outside of our control and apply this perspective to the loss of friends. We can grieve but not be overwhelmed with grief for a long time and recognize that the degree of grief will likely fade with time. We can value benefits we have accrued from our lost friends and treasure the friendships we currently have enjoying our friendships now before the time is too late and we have missed the moment. We can also think of our deaths simply as non-existence and a deep peace similar to a painless experience prior to our lives beginning.My Stoic Philosophy series explores 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.

- Episode 9: A Positive Sense Of SelfI talk about cultivating positive character traits, virtue, and a strong mindset in order to have a solid personal foundation and purpose in life.Having a positive sense of self is something within our control which is built from a strong inner foundation of personal values, purpose, and applying virtue. We should take action and accountability to live a fulfilled life and grow our self-esteem. A strong, steadfast mindset is something we should strive for which will improve our quality of life and allow us to endure suffering so that we can maintain our character. We can look for examples of what the good life looks like by carefully choosing good role-models and drawing upon wisdom from others while making sure to distance ourselves from negative people, bad habits, and not live to please others who are unpraiseworthy – bad influences upon us or people who really aren't important in our lives. In order to improve, to progress, we need to be honest with ourselves recognizing and admitting our faults so that we can live better.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.
