  • 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.

The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that we are already honest, but we often receive contradictory messaging about honesty, which can lead to self-deception.
