The Everyday Stoic

Why Stoic Think About Death Everyday (And Why You Should Too) | The Everyday Stoic


Listen Later

In this episode, William explores one of the most transformative Stoic principles: memento mori—"remember you are mortal." The Stoics didn’t just reflect on death; they practiced it daily, using reminders, meditations, and symbolic tokens to face life’s ultimate truth head-on. But why? Why did Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus insist on remembering death?

William shares how this practice helped him conquer fear, escape procrastination, and embrace life fully. From childhood anxiety about death to finding peace and power through Stoicism, this episode offers a raw, honest reflection on mortality and how it can awaken us to our greatest potential.

Whether you're new to Stoicism or deep on your journey, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to live a more intentional and fearless life.
