This is the final episode in the series where we read a quote from every book of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. In today's episode, the boxer, and gladiator analogy is mentioned and talked about, which mentions how you should approach your personal life philosophy. This boxer and gladiator mentality applies to: how you approach life, how you tackle tough situations, how you deal with fried, how to apply philosophy to your life, and more. We also talk about how history repeats itself, and how nothing we see today is new, rather a different appearance to something that has already happened.
The Book Basement Bulletin is a free weekly newsletter in which every Monday, readers receive book recommendations as well as three weekly useful tools or pieces of media that I have found throughout the week.
The Book Basement is a five times weekly podcast that discusses and breaks down everything related to books. Whether you’re looking for book summaries, book recommendations, book reviews, author interviews, and book quotes then this is your podcast! I cover a wide variety of books, both fiction and nonfiction and I compress some of their quotes and teachings into short, digestible episodes that you can listen to as a part of your daily morning routine. I have talked about books such as Atomic Habits by James Clear, The Psychology of Money, by Morgan Housel, Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl, The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, Steal like an Artist by Austin Kleon as well as other, fiction books such as A Good Girls Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson, Verity by Colleen Hoover and It Ends With Us by the same author. If you’re looking to reach your reading goals and learn more about the genre of self-help, philosophy, psychology, and fiction books of the sort, then check out some of our other episodes!
