The Ripple Effect of Teaching, Tolerance and Kindness

Season 1 · Episode 155

Wednesday, September 4, 2024 • Duration 05:23

The Stoics strongly believed that we should be respectful to everyone, no matter who they are or what they’ve done.

It’s a freeing attitude: not only can we refuse to let the malevolent actions of others harm our free will, but we also always maintain the power to love, respect, and help those same people.

The Chief Task In Life Is This

Season 1 · Episode 154

Wednesday, August 28, 2024 • Duration 04:30

The ancient Stoic teacher Epictetus said we should contemplate daily the freedom of our will: The fact that no matter what happens or what anyone else does, our thoughts and actions are our own and no one else’s.

This knowledge of what is and isn’t ours, and of what is and isn’t possible for us, allows us to focus on the things we can actually affect.

On the other hand, we are able to calmly assess the events, opinions, and circumstances that don’t land within our sphere of control and effectively say they’re fine as they are.

Gain Freedom From Envy With The Self-Consultation Technique

Season 1 · Episode 145

Wednesday, June 19, 2024 • Duration 07:35

It’s a common disruption to our tranquility: putting someone else’s life on a pedestal compared to our own.

We envy the apparent prosperity and happiness of others while losing sight of the things in our own lives that we should be quite content with.

The full story of someone else’s life can’t be known. Their inner world isn’t visible to us. To have their life, we’d need to inherit everything about them. Would we really be willing to take that risk?

To help regain your freedom from this kind of disruption, I’ve constructed a short Stoic exercise for you to practice.
