We discuss a modern understanding of Stoic philosophy and contrast it with common misconceptions of Stoicism and common pitfalls in life, generally. We contrast living a life of meaning against a life of comfort.

We explore a wide array of themes and concepts:
-Eudaimonia: Living your Best Life
-Virtue as the Highest Aspiration
-Origin of Stoic Philosophy and the philosophers behind it
- Understanding: Agape, Clemency, Phillia, and Sophia
-The Yin and Yang Sides of God
-Lucifer's Arrogance
-Marcus Aurelius and being true to your Role (Arete)
