We talk about the psychological benefits of applying Stoicism, finding fulfillment in life, and changing bad habits amidst discussion of his chapters on judgments, externals, perspective, death, desire, emotion, and adversity.
I recently spoke with Simon Drew of The Practical Stoic Podcast about finding purpose in life; my Clinical Mental Health Counseling internship work with elementary school students and their families; friendship; and reevaluating our lives in order to have more fulfillment and contentment. Listen here!
We talk about how Stoicism can help us overcome adversity including grief and illness; the appeal of Stoicism to non-religious people; music; and regret. We also talk about Steve’s upbringing on a family farm and ethical considerations towards animals and one’s diet.
Donald Robertson and I talk about the appeal of Stoicism, benefits of online communities, and challenges associated with online discussion.
