  • Interconnectedness

    I’m new to Stoicism but the more I learn, I’m struck by the overlap of some Buddhist teachings and Stoicism like the interconnectedness of all things, as one would appreciate with practicing The View from Above. I would love to hear your comments about this.

  • Love this podcast

    This podcast is interesting and thought-provoking for people just learning about stoicism or anyone looking to strengthen their resiliency and mental health in general. The only constructive criticism I would add is that the sound quality could use an upgrade. I often need to turn this podcast up much louder than others to be able to hear what he is saying clearly. Still if five star podcast in my opinion.
