Practical Wisdom for Everyday Life
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.
