The What Is Stoicism? Podcast

The Stoic Reset for a Complicated Mind

Episode Description from the Publisher

This episode uses animals as a reminder to return to the present moment. Hadot and Marcus Aurelius show that life is lived only in the now, where we can think clearly, act justly, and avoid adding needless disturbance to events. Animals offer a simple model of presence: they don't argue with the past or rehearse the future, but inhabit what's directly before them.๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ“ป FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENTCheck out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack:โ˜€๏ธ Micro Morning Meditation: The Stories of Insecurityhttps://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-the-stories Hosted on Acast.
