The Everyday Stoic

Stoic Wisdom from Marcus Aurelius | Finding the Positive In Life with William Mulligan


Listen Later

In this episode, William explores Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, Book 10, Passage 35—an insight into accepting all of life, not just the pleasant parts. William reflects on the Stoic concept of amor fati—loving one’s fate—drawing connections to Buddhism, Taoism, and Nietzsche’s philosophy on human greatness.
