While Stoicism is currently all the rage -and for good reason- it isn't the only philosophy to address some of life's toughest questions. From dealing with uncertainty, stress, grief and more, we have a wonderful toolbox of wisdom at our disposal, if only we know where to look.Renowned Stoics and philosophers, Massimo Pigliucci, Donald Robertson and John Sellars, take the lessons of Stoicism... and beyond... to see how we can approach life's difficulties and incorporate time-tested philosophies into our modern life. This event is hosted by Anya Leonard of Classical Wisdom. To learn more about Classical Wisdom and to sign up for the free newsletter, please go to: https://classicalwisdom.substack.com/
Have you ever wondered whether Stoicism might help you manage the stresses of modern life and find peace and satisfaction despite things being far more imperfect that you'd like? Have you ever wondered what Stoicism even is, other than a source of motivational poster slogans and the inspiration for 4-minute-read online articles called things like 'Use These 3 Stoic Hacks to Put Out Your Bin Fire of a Life'? You have? Then this is the episode for you. I interview my colleague, Professor John Sellars, who is not only a scholar of Stoicism, but is also devoted to helping people improve their lives by following Stoic principles. John Sellars is professor of philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, Visiting Research Fellow at King's College London, and Member of Common Room at Wolfson College, Oxford. He's a founding member of the London Centre for Ancient Philosophy and a member of two non-profit organizations aimed at bringing Stoicism to a wider audience, Modern Stoicism and The Aurelius Foundation. You can learn more about John, and find links to his books, articles, and more, at his website.Do you want to live like a Stoic for a week?Find The Academic Imperfectionist on Medium!
Desde Meditaciones de Marco Aurelio convirtiéndose en un bestseller en pandemia a Lecciones de estoicismo de John Sellars. En este episodio, Romeo Tello, editor de Taurus, plática con Ricardo Esquivel, creador del podcast Papel y piedra, sobre estos y otros libros de filosofía. Hosted on Acast.

At its core, Stoicism is a tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, perseverance, and wisdom: something one uses to live a virtuous life. However, the English language has dealt great injustice to the word “Stoic.” Dr. John Sellars, Reader in the History of Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, and Research Fellow at King's College London, joins along with Dr. Johannes Karl, Dublin City University, to give us an introduction to Stoicism and how these ideas born in Ancient Greece have been instrumental in the modern day through understanding emotions, designing behavioral therapies and conceptualizing developmental psychology.

In this episode, I'll be reading a brief excerpt from my new biography, Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor, which is available as an audiobook as well as in hardback and ebook formats. The book was chosen as an editor's pick by Barnes and Noble and currently has 4.7 stars on Amazon. You can hear a sample from the studio-recorded audiobook, and read reviews, on Audible. Also see Goodreads for reviews.* “Given the erratic, not to say murderous, behavior of many of [Marcus's] predecessors, . . . how did so sterling a character as Marcus come about? That is the subject of Donald J. Robertson's excellent biographical study.”—Joseph Epstein, National Review* “Addictively written, this riveting visitation of the fascinating figure of Marcus Aurelius is as comprehensive as it gets, covering everything from his reign to his philosophy.”—“Notes from Your Bookseller,” barnesandnoble.com* “Eminently readable. . . . A leading light in the modern revival of Stoic philosophy, Robertson directly and elegantly draws out the connections between Marcus' experiences in the unforgiving crucible of Roman imperial politics and the philosophical ideas he expresses in the Meditations. . . . An invaluable companion to the Meditations itself.”—Peter Juul, Liberal Patriot* “Few historical figures are as fascinating as Marcus Aurelius, the emperor-philosopher. And few writers have been so effective at bringing his complex life and character to the attention of modern readers as Donald Robertson.”—Massimo Pigliucci, author of How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life* “[Robertson] thoughtfully and readably capture[s] the essence of this great man and his great life. It's a must read for any aspiring Stoic.”—Ryan Holiday, coauthor of #1 New York Times bestseller The Daily Stoic* “Robertson has written a very thorough and very readable account of Marcus's life and the events and people that shaped him. Anyone who wants to understand the author of Meditations should read this book.”—Robin Waterfield, author of Marcus Aurelius, Meditations: The Annotated Edition* “Donald Robertson guides us into the world of a philosopher-emperor whose humility and Stoic teachings fill the pages. We are indebted to Robertson for this wonderful account of the emperor who penned notes to himself while in battle that would be later known as the Meditations and read by millions for philosophical inspiration. Simply spellbinding.”—Nancy Sherman, author of Stoic Wisdom: Ancient Lessons for Modern Resilience* “Robertson's biography provides a compelling narrative of Marcus' life, carefully based on the primary sources. He brings out very clearly the life-long significance of Stoicism for Marcus and the interplay between philosophy, politics, and warfare.”—Christopher Gill, author of Learning to Live Naturally: Stoic Ethics and Its Modern Significance* “This highly readable biography is the perfect place to begin for anyone who wants to learn more about the man behind the Meditations.”—John Sellars, author of The Pocket StoicStoicism: Philosophy as a Way of Life is a reader-supported publication.

Esto es una muestra. Escucha el audiolibro completo aquí: https://penguinaud.io/49pSVjlNarrador: Eugenio BaronaEl Liceo de Atenas, hoy en ruinas, puede presumir de haber sido uno de los lugares más significativos de la historia del pensamiento. Fue la sede de la escuela de Aristóteles. Allí el filósofo enseñó y discutió las respuestas a los misterios más profundos de la condición humana, y cambió nuestra forma de reflexionar.Hoy puede resultar difícil comprender plenamente la asombrosa influencia de sus lecciones. Sin embargo, sus observaciones sobre el mundoy sus reflexiones sobre la naturaleza del conocimiento sentaron las bases de toda ciencia empírica. Sea lo que sea que nos preocupe o interese, es casi seguro que Aristóteles dijera algo extremadamente inteligente al respecto. Su estudio del pensamiento racional dio lugar a la lógica formal, piedra angular de la investigación filosófica; su examen de las ciudades-estado griegas inauguró la ciencia política; y su análisis del arte dramático sigue siendo un pilar de los cursos de literatura en todo el mundo.El aclamado filósofo John Sellars nos embarca en un viaje a través del pensamiento de Aristóteles, haciendo revivir con entusiasmo sus ideas clave y demostrando que la capacidad de curiosidad del célebre filósofo sigue ofreciéndonos a todos una visión de la vida más plena. Sellars demuestra que las lecciones de Aristóteles aún tienen mucho que enseñarnos hoy.#aristoteles #filosofia #audiolibros #enespañol #penguinaudio Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I read an exclusive excerpt from my latest book, Marcus Aurelius: The Stoic Emperor, published by Yale University Press, as part of the Ancient Lives Series.

You can help it reach a wider audience by pre-ordering now from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or any other bookseller.While the First Marcomannic War was raging, Marcus Aurelius, surrounded by death and betrayal, found consolation in writing his famous notes “to himself” on Stoic philosophy. He also made a solemn vow. If he survived long enough, he would go on pilgrimage to Athens and join the supplicants being initiated in the Temple of Demeter at nearby Eleusis. Hadrian had tried to bring the Eleusinian Mysteries to Rome, but their mystique was rooted in the Greek temple's ancient site.Stoicism: Philosophy as a Way of Life is a reader-supported publication.

When the news was brought to him that one of his most beloved tutors had died, the young Caesar was distraught, and tears poured down his cheeks—he may perhaps have started to beat his chest and tear his clothes in grief. Palace servants, afraid his reputation would be harmed by such a public display of raw emotion, rushed to his side, trying to restrain him. His adoptive father, the emperor Antoninus Pius, a thoughtful and gentle man, gestured for them to step aside. He whispered, “Let him be only a man for once; for neither philosophy nor empire takes away natural feeling.” Praise from other Authors“Few historical figures are as fascinating as Marcus Aurelius, the emperor-philosopher.

Dr. John Sellars is a lecturer in philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, and is a leading expert in ancient philosophy, with a particular focus on Stoicism. In this interview, we'll be delving into the ancient philosophy of Stoicism, discussing its relevance to modern life, and exploring how we can apply its teachings to our daily lives.

This week we're heading back to the fourth century BC to take a look at one of the world's greatest ever philosophers. Indeed, according to today's guest, John Sellars, Aristotle may be even more than that. He might well be the single most important human ever to have lived. Aristotle's philosophical work transformed the people thought about the world around them. During his magnificent career he laid the foundation for science; he pioneered new methods for understanding drama and literature; he founded a new way of thinking about politics, and he invented formal logic. But how did Aristotle do this? How was he shaped by the intellectual culture of Ancient Greece? What did he owe to his famous forebears, Plato and Socrates? In this episode John Sellars engages with these questions as he describes the life of this hugely significant philosopher. John Sellars is a Reader in Philosophy at Royal Holloway, a Visiting Research Fellow at King's College London and a Member of Common Room, Wolfson College, Oxford. He is the author of a sleek and stylish new short book, Aristotle: Understanding the World's Greatest Philosopher. For more, as ever, visit our website: tttpodcast.com. Show notes Scene One: 347 BC. Aristotle leaves Plato's Academy after twenty years. Scene Two: 344 BC. Aristotle arrives on Lesbos and begins to study animals. Scene Three: 335 BC. Aristotle returns to Athens, founds the Lyceum and embarks on a dizzying array of philosophical work. Memento: A papyrus scroll containing one of Aristotle's lost dialogues.

Tomado del libro Lecciones de Estoicismo: filosofía antigua para la vida moderna de John Sellars.
Escucha este audiolibro completo, aquí: https://bit.ly/2YwoVn6Narrado por: Esteban Massana¿Cómo vivir una vida feliz? Hace más de dos mil años, el filósofo griego Epicuro ofreció una respuesta simple: lo único que realmente necesitamos es placer. Hoy tendemos a asociar la palabra «epicúreo» con el exceso indulgente y el simple disfrute de la comida y el vino, pero el hedonismo ligero y la autocomplacencia decadente están a años luz de la vida placentera que perseguían Epicuro y sus seguidores, más preocupados por los placeres mentales y por eludir el dolor incluso en los tiempos difíciles. Su objetivo, en definitiva, era una existencia de tranquilidad y satisfacción. En este libro elegante y original John Sellars nos lleva a través de la historia del epicureísmo, desde un jardín privado en las afueras de la antigua Atenas, donde Epicuro y sus estudiantes vivieron en el siglo IV a. C. y las mujeres eran tan bienvenidas como los hombres, hasta Roma, donde la influencia epicúrea floreció gracias al poeta Lucrecio y su cohorte. Sellars propone una manera constructiva de repensar nuestro lugar en el mundo, y nos muestra cómo esta doctrina puede ayudarnos a valorar la importancia de la alegría, la naturaleza y el simple hecho estar vivos.#penguinaudio #audiolibro #audiolibros #John #Sellars #JohnSellars See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th-21st century philosopher John Sellars' recent article "What Is Philosophy As A Way Of Life" (Parrhesia, vol. 28) It discusses the distinction he develops early on in the article, between two different manners of understanding and engaging in philosophy. Philosophy as a Way of Life would be more closely associated with humanistically conceived philosophy.

Marcus Aurelius' Meditations is one of the most popular philosophical works by sales to the public, while in academic philosophy he is considered somewhat of a philosophical lightweight. In Marcus Aurelius (Routledge, 2020), John Sellars argues that this academic perception mistakes the Meditations as a failed work of theoretical argument, when instead it is a series of spiritual training exercises to condition the Roman emperor's character in accordance with the Stoic doctrines he learned as a bookish boy. Sellars, who is reader in philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, sees Marcus Aurelius as using his Meditations as an antidote to corrupting pressures of his powerful position and debilitating suffering in the face of adversity in his personal life and in his military campaigns against Germanic tribes. The book accessibly introduces the main Stoic doctrines that form the background of Marcus Aurelius's writings, and shows how he reviews the day's events and where he has gone wrong in his responses to them in their light.

Sellars, who is reader in philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, sees Marcus Aurelius as using his Meditations as an antidote to corrupting pressures of his powerful position and debilitating suffering in the face of adversity in his personal life and in his military campaigns against Germanic tribes. The book accessibly introduces the main Stoic doctrines that form the background of Marcus Aurelius’s writings, and shows how he reviews the day’s events and where he has gone wrong in his responses to them in their light.

I’ve got a lot of questions. In a fascinating 40-minute conversation, John Sellars answered them all succinctly. “How do I discern the right path?” “What is success?” “How can I reduce anxiety?” If similar life questions keep you busy, then this podcast is for you.John, a writer, professor of philosophy and founding member of Modern Stoicism, is a learned, approachable and accomplished thought-weaver. His most recent book, “The Fourfold Remedy”, follows on earlier works that include “The Art of Living”, “Lessons in Stoicism” and “Marcus Aurelius”. It drills down into the Epicureans' question about how best to live life (the short answer?: pursue tranquility), borrowing from his mailman along the way.Our interview carried us from the individual to the universal – from practical coping techniques and the avoidance of pain to the rationale of social existence. Turns out we are not isolated predators after all. All kinds of things may incline us toward egotism, but in the end, we’re unimportant. So cultivate social relationships. That’s where the joy lies.We also spoke about chosen and unchosen roles. The contingencies, duties and responsibilities these carry. And particularly about how to put these into perspective. Which roles can we choose and which ones should we choose? In the absence of religion and in a tsunami of social media voices, rituals and routines offer guidance. Observe yourself; get to recognize your own value judgements. How? By slowing down and reflecting. By spending time alone. By spending the next 40 minutes with your headphones on.Those 4 remedies? He ticks them off in a single sentence.

Then William Wehmer finds out just how hesitant many teens and adults are about taking the coronavirus vaccine.
Everyday Rockstar (0:00:00) Lisa and Richie talk to this week's Everyday Rockstar. You can nominate yourself or someone your know as our next Everyday Rockstar by sending us an email at thelisashow@byu.edu. Making Thanksgiving Manageable (0:05:13) Thanksgiving is a great time to join with friends and family to reflect on the past year and celebrate your blessings, your relationships, and good food. However, for some, this time can also be stressful and draining. We have all been at Thanksgiving dinners where politics get brought up and the conversation takes a turn for the worst. Or when distant relatives start asking questions that are far too personal, leaving everyone in the room feeling uncomfortable. So, what can we do to make sure that the only thing heated during dinner is the food in front of us? Joining us today is clinical psychologist, Dr. Amy Daramus, to discuss how we can set healthy boundaries with our family and friends to make sure the focus of your Thanksgiving dinner is gratitude. Why Embracing Change is Good (0:21:53) We likely all have our own ideas as to what the traditional stoic looks and acts like. Presumably someone with a “stiff upper lip” who experiences events but doesn't really feel them. Overall, our imagined stoic holds his/her feelings close to their chest and rarely deigns to emotional levels frequented by those lacking a stiff upper lip. However, this conjured up notion of a modern stoic is a misrepresentation of the ancient Greek philosophy of stoicism—a philosophy which knows a thing or 2 about feeling emotions. Here to discuss with us what stoicism can teach us about embracing change and why doing so might be the key to a good life is author and Reader in Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, Dr. John Sellars. The Consequences of Going Cashless (0:37:24) It used to be that cash was king. However, the ever-more convenient credit card seems to be trying to dethrone it. And you might not have a choice in the matter. Restaurants and retail shops across the country are increasingly switching to cashless only methods of payments. No longer do we have to carry around wads of cash. It seems that legal tender in your pocket is really now just a piece of paper in some places. But the switch to a cashless society has ramifications that most of us might not even realize. Here to discuss the consequences of such a switch is the Policy Director of DC Fiscal Policy Institute, Tazra Mitchell. Finding the Right Life Coach (1:13:34) Let's face it –life can be really tough. And without an idea of where you want it to go, it can feel even harder. But have you ever considered consulting a life coach before? Whether you have your life all figured out or are playing it day by day, hiring a life coach can be a good way to decide what your next steps should be. Joining us this morning is Ashley Smith, an attorney from Salt Lake City, here with us to discuss how to find the best coach for you without wasting your money. Black Friday Car Deals (1:26:47) Black Friday can be a nightmare sometimes. There are so many crowds of people that it can be too much of a pain to even participate (although this year might be a little different...). But there are also so many great deals! Especially for those items that are typically out of your price range and only Black Friday can justify your purchase of them. One of those big investment purchases you can find deals on this time of year is your next car. Here to share the best deals we can find on cars this Black Friday is Jim Sharifi, the managing editor of U.S. News and World Report's Best Cars team.
Episode 4 of Happy Vs Flourishing features Massimo Pigliucci the K. D. Irani Professor of philosophy at the City College of New York. The author or editor of thirteen books, many of which provide excellent tips on how to have a richer more fulfilling life and that is an area we explore in this episode. Massimo has been published in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Philosophy Now, and the Philosophers' Magazine, among others. In this episode amongst the things discussed are: How can philosophy help your life? What is Stoicism and why is it misunderstood? Nelson Mandela Viktor Frankl How applying some of Massimo's suggestions transformed the life of one of his coaching clients The new book: A Field Guide to a Happy Life What is the difference between Happiness and Flourishing? He has just released a new book titled: A Field Guide to a Happy Life: 53 Brief Lessons for Living "This short book is a 'field guide, ' written with busy non-specialists in mind. By dipping into its pages, readers can simultaneously develop an understanding of Stoicism and gain important insights into how best to live. Those who are already familiar with Epictetus will appreciate Pigliucci's bold 'update' of Stoicism in the book's closing pages."--William B. Irvine, author of The Stoic Challenge "A shrewd take on Stoic philosophy that's one part inspiration and one part manual for cultivating resilience in daily life. Pigliucci's prudent advice will have broad appeal among philosophically inclined readers of self-help."--Publishers Weekly "A wonderfully fun introduction to Stoic philosophy, bursting with practical wisdom and engaging stories. I particularly admire how Pigliucci revisits and reinterprets Epictetus's Enchiridion while showing why we need a 'Stoicism 2.0' for twenty-first century happiness, and clearly illustrating how his version differs from the original. It's an excellent book, written in Pigliucci's splendidly lucid and accessible style." --Skye C. Cleary, author of Existentialism and Romantic Love "An engaging introduction to the Stoic life through an updated version of Epictetus's Handbook. An unusual and helpful feature is an appendix in which Pigliucci highlights his modifications of the original Stoic text to take account of modern thinking."--Christopher Gill, author of Greek Thought "Pigliucci reimagines Epictetus's Handbook (a.k.a. the Enchiridion) and updates it for the twenty-first century. The result is a work more timely than ever, for it warns us of the dangers of superstition while it reminds us that reason and virtue are essential to happiness. Pigliucci speaks directly to us as readers and justifies his updates along the way. He thereby invites us to treat Epictetus and this very book as a reasonable guide rather than as an oracle from on high."--Brian E. Johnson, Fordham University "Pigliucci's A Field Guide to a Happy Life provides a user-friendly manual for applying Stoicism to daily life in the twenty-first century. Stoicism 2.0 tweaks the philosophy in order to adapt it to the moral intuitions shared by most modern readers. It therefore provides a good place to start your journey when exploring Stoic practices."--Donald Robertson, author of How to Think Like a Roman Emperor "This is a bold, contemporary updating of Stoicism for the present day. Taking the ancient Stoic Epictetus as his inspiration, Pigliucci has rewritten Epictetus's Handbook in order to update it, make it more relevant to a modern audience, but also to ensure that the core Stoic ideas shine through. The result is what Pigliucci calls Stoicism 2.0. This is a manual for living for those who approach the ancient Stoics as guides, not masters."--John Sellars, author of Stoicism Other books: How to be a Stoic A Handbook for New Stoics How to Live a Good Life: A Guide to Choosing Your Personal Philosophy Links: https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/massimo-pigliucci/a-field-guide-to-a-happy-life/9781541646940/ https://massimopigliucci.wordpress.com https://twitter.com/mpigliucci Happy Vs Flourishing links: www.ExceedingExpectations.me Facebook Group Twitter LinkedIn YouTube How to leave a podcast review: https://tonywinyard.com/how-to-leave-a-review-for-the-podcast/ Full shownotes including transcription available at: https://tonywinyard.com/hvf004-massimo-pigliucci/

Historium Unearthia: Unearthing History's Lost and Untold Stories
Greene County, Missouri was once home to many bustling communities that slowly withered away. One town had quite an intriguing story. There it was said the springs could cure; that a bit of heaven had fallen to earth. A respected doctor even banked his future on the town’s medicinal wonders. Have you ever heard of the lost town of Bethesda? DOWNLOAD NOW Credit: A huge thanks to author and local Greene County historian Shirley Gilmore who wrote a little book called Bethesda: Lost City in 1970, when she was a senior in high school and as part of a Girl Scout project. The book is in the reference section of the Springfield-Greene County Library in Springfield, Missouri. I also grateful for the historical insight of John Sellars, the Executive Director of the History Museum on the Square, dedicated to revitalizing and preserving the history of the Springfield, Missouri community.

Since this is the inaugural episode of Stoicism On Fire it would be natural for you the listener to wonder what this podcast is about. Obviously, it’s about Stoicism, but What is Stoicism on Fire? As the introduction states, this podcast is about Stoicism as a philosophical way of life, which includes a rational form of spirituality. That form of Stoicism has become known as traditional Stoicism in modern times. Ancient Stoicism: 300 BCE – 200 CE Many credible sources are available to explore the doctrines of Stoicism. Both of these trusted sources provide accurate explanations of Stoic doctrines and contrast that with modern or contemporary versions of Stoicism: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy - Stoicism Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy – Stoicism Neo-Stoicism: 16th and 17th centuries Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy – Neo-Stoicism Modern Stoicism Has its roots in Lawrence Becker’s book A New Stoicism in 1998 – an attempt to revive Stoicism in a secular form. Modern Stoicism Blog Traditional Stoicism Grew out of Erik Wiegardt’s creation of the New Stoa in 1996. Traditional Stoicism is an attempt to make sense of the ancient Stoic way of life in light of what we have learned about human nature and the cosmos over the last two thousand years while remaining true to the deeply religious nature of Stoicism. Traditional Stoicism Blog The History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps Peter Adamson, Professor of Philosophy at the LMU in Munich and at King's College London, takes listeners through the history of philosophy, "without any gaps." The series looks at the ideas, lives and historical context of the major philosophers as well as the lesser-known figures of the tradition. Lectures 60 through 68 address Stoicism; they can be found here: 60 – Walking on Eggshells: the Stoics on Logic 61 – Nobody’s Perfect: the Stoic on Knowledge 62 – We Didn’t Start the Fire: the Stoics on Nature 63 – Like a Rolling Stone: Stoic Ethics 64 – David Sedley on Stoicism 65 – Anger Management: Seneca 66 – You Can Chain My Leg: Epictetus 67 – The Philosopher King: Marcus Aurelius 68 – John Sellars on the Roman Stoics John Cooper John Cooper, of Princeton University, also provides a great one-hour long lecture on ‘The Stoic Way of Life’ as part of the 2011 John Locke lecture series produced by University of Oxford. Some key points of interest for traditional Stoics: @ 6:29 – The coherence of the Stoic philosophical system @ 6:48 – John Cooper argues: “In order to understand properly the Stoic way of life and its philosophical basis, we’re going to have to learn a great deal about their metaphysical and physical theory into which, as I have said, their ethical theory is set as the centerpiece of their whole philosophical system. @ 13:55 – The human relationship to the divine mind The full lecture can be found here: John Cooper Lecture A Box of my favorite things Kevin Patrick Jr wrote a blog post in November of 2015 that has remained quite relevant as the modern Stoic movement grows. He asks, How many of us have a box of our favorite things which we’ve haphazardly scrawled “STOICISM” across the side? Inside this box of decades’, generations’ worth of baggage, is there much room leftover for the ideas of Epictetus? Kevin's post is worth reading; he blogs as Mountain Stoic and this post can be found here: A box of my favorite things, with “STOICISM” scrawled on the side Pierre Hadot Maybe more than any other modern philosopher, Pierre Hadot reintroduced moderns to the concept of philosophy as a way of life. His books emphasize the deeply spiritual nature of Stoicism. In his book on the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, he wrote in the conclusion: All the dogmas of Stoicism derive from this existential choice. It is impossible that the universe could produce human rationality, unless the latter were already in some way present within th...
Wild Bill Hickok and Davis Tutt etched their names in Springfield history in July of 1865. They faced off in the town square over a gambling debt, this one involving a pocket watch. These two young "peacocks" of the wild west were not about to back down, as reporter Sophia Vaughn explains, with the assistance of special guest John Sellars. He is the director of the Springfield History Museum, which happens to be located on the square where this story unfolded over 150 years ago. The story includes original music by Hayden Pyle. Special thanks to Jeffrey Johnson from OTC.
John Sellars is our special guest, describing something crazy from our city's past that he lived through--the great cobra scare of Springfield, MO, which happened during the blistering summer of 1953. The back story actually took 40 years to come to light, and there is nobody better than Sellars, the head of the Springfield History Museum, to shed some light on this memorable tale. The story is reported by Allison Green.
This month we are talking about Confederate Monuments. In this episode you will hear from John Sellars, a former UNC student activist, Mistyre Bonds, a current student activist, and Dr. William Sturkey, a history professor, as they discuss a confederate statue, Silent Sam, on the UNC campus.

This episode's questions: What's the Stoic view of fear and do Stoics experience it? The Stoics say that fe.ar is all in my head but, if so, my head is really good at generating fear. What should I do about that? Outside of reigning in my imagination, how can I Stoicially confront fear? In this episode I draw heavily from a Stoic Week 2014 talk given by John Sellars
