Episode 4 - Temperence: In today’s world of constant distraction, instant gratification, and overconsumption, the Stoic virtue of Temperance can feel like an ancient relic. But what if it’s exactly what we need to reclaim balance, presence, and peace?

In this episode of The Camino Stoic, Eric guides us through the final cardinal virtue—temperance—drawing insights from the Camino de Santiago and the teachings of the Stoics. Through personal stories from the Via de la Plata, we examine how moderating our desires isn’t about deprivation—it’s about freedom.

Whether it’s craving comfort, control, or praise, temperance helps us ask: Do I really need this? And as we walk, we begin to hear the quiet answer: You already have enough.

Tune in to reflect, reset, and reconnect with the virtue of moderation.

The Camino Stoic is written and presented by Eric Fendley, produced by Viil Fjøse, with music by Stonecraft. If you’ve enjoyed this episode, consider following the podcast and sharing it with a fellow traveller.
