Stoicism teaches us to focus on what is within our control, accept the things we cannot change, and cultivate inner tranquility through a disciplined and virtuous life.Irvine delves into various techniques and practices endorsed by Stoicism, such as negative visualization, which involves imagining the loss of something to cultivate appreciation for what we have. He discusses the importance of understanding our desires and how to manage them, as well as the use of Stoic exercises like journaling and meditations on mortality.The book also addresses common misconceptions about Stoicism, including the idea that it promotes indifference or emotional numbness. Irvine argues that Stoicism is not about suppressing our emotions but rather developing emotional resilience and choosing how we respond to challenging situations.Throughout the book, Irvine offers practical advice on applying Stoic principles in different aspects of life, including relationships, work, and dealing with adversity. He provides real-life examples and anecdotes to illustrate how Stoicism can help us navigate the complexities of modern life and find joy in the moments that matter."A Guide to the Good Life" combines philosophy, psychology, and personal anecdotes to present a compelling argument for the relevance of Stoic principles in today's world.

In his 23rd letter to his dear friend Lucilius, Seneca covers the joy that sprouts from philosophy and living virtuously. Unsurprisingly, many of the views held by Seneca around joy still find practical application to this day, but have been abandoned by society. Finding a permanent source of joy, which Seneca wishes for, has instead been replaced by distractions that may make you happy for a few minutes but are fleeting and inconsequential. Join us for this week's episode as we break down what joy means to a Stoic, cover this letter and more of Seneca's works in-depth, and talk about our own personal challenges finding joy in college.We have some exciting Season 2 updates!

William Irvine was a professor at Wright State University and is the author of seven books, including his best-seller, "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy." During our conversation, Bill talks about the history of the Stoics, an ancient school of philosophy that began in Athens in 300 B.C. He also talks about the psychological training that the Stoics encouraged, including negative visualization, a practice aimed at reducing the human tendency for insatiability and increasing our gratitude for the many gifts of our lives.Bill's book helped to launch the modern renaissance of Stoicism. The Stoic's message - including those of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, and Musonius Rufus - emphasized the importance of intentional struggle and temporary hardship, to align one's body and one's mind with the reality of life itself. This message is evergreen in creating resilient and capable people, and ever more important in our increasingly super-convenient, super-addicted "Brave New World."Stoicism reminds me of a quote from Veritas Savannah:“Prepare your child for the road, not the road for your child.”------------Support via VenmoSupport on SubstackSupport on Patreon------------Show notesRate on SpotifyRate on Apple PodcastsSocial media and all episodes

Read the full transcript here. Why is Stoicism important and useful today? What are the main ideas of Stoicism? How can you tell if you're "living well"? And if you're not living well, then how can you move yourself in that direction? How can we learn to accept and embrace life as it comes without losing our desire to improve ourselves and the world around us? Do people vary in the degree to which Stoic practices might be beneficial for them? What's the relationship between Stoicism and CBT? What do Stoics have to say about the value or disvalue of emotions? Has Stoicism changed much since its inception? What does it mean to be a "reasonable" person? What are some clear signs that a person is a thinker or a feeler? How might we modify social media and/or ourselves so that our cognitive biases can't as easily be weaponized for political or economic ends? It's easy to see cognitive biases in others; but how can we learn to see them in ourselves?William B. Irvine is emeritus professor of philosophy at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, USA.

"Happiness is another interesting thing. I've been thinking about this lately. You know, people take aim at happiness. I don't know if you can actually do that, if you can have a recipe for attaining happiness. Happiness is something that just happens as a byproduct of something else going on in your life, and that is having a day where you're experiencing equanimity. You don't have this abundance of negative emotions, where you value the things you've already got, where you value the relationships you've got, where you feel good inside your own body. You like being who you are. And I think, if all that happens, then suddenly, you know, it'll dawn on me. 'Gosh, I guess I'm happy...' "William B.

He created it. He put together components of some other then existing schools of philosophy and started his own school, but what we know primarily are the Roman Stoics. So this would be in the first century B.C. and the first century A.D. in Rome. And the four big names are Marcus Aurelius (who was also an emperor), Seneca (who was also a playright and the first century equivalent of a billionaire), an interestingly complex guy, and Epictetus (who was a successful head of a school of philosophy). Fourth name (less known, but a very important Roman Stoic) is Musonius Rufus, who was actually the teacher of Epictetus. And the interesting thing is, all four of them, you can pick up and start reading them, and you will very quickly sort of say – Oh, I see what they're doing. And I see why it's relevant to my life. And I see how it can be useful to my life.”www.williambirvine.comThe Stoic Challengewww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgPhoto credit: Lyndon French

"Happiness is another interesting thing. I've been thinking about this lately. You know, people take aim at happiness. I don't know if you can actually do that, if you can have a recipe for attaining happiness. Happiness is something that just happens as a byproduct of something else going on in your life, and that is having a day where you're experiencing equanimity. You don't have this abundance of negative emotions, where you value the things you've already got, where you value the relationships you've got, where you feel good inside your own body. You like being who you are. And I think, if all that happens, then suddenly, you know, it'll dawn on me. 'Gosh, I guess I'm happy...' "William B.

He created it. He put together components of some other then existing schools of philosophy and started his own school, but what we know primarily are the Roman Stoics. So this would be in the first century B.C. and the first century A.D. in Rome. And the four big names are Marcus Aurelius (who was also an emperor), Seneca (who was also a playright and the first century equivalent of a billionaire), an interestingly complex guy, and Epictetus (who was a successful head of a school of philosophy). Fourth name (less known, but a very important Roman Stoic) is Musonius Rufus, who was actually the teacher of Epictetus. And the interesting thing is, all four of them, you can pick up and start reading them, and you will very quickly sort of say – Oh, I see what they're doing. And I see why it's relevant to my life.

Difficult times are an inevitable part of life; you are going to face times of trouble. In this episode, Craig discusses how applying a simple idea from Stoicism helped him get through an especially troubling time, the illness and loss of a loved one. He also describes how using reason, and your knowledge of what is and is not within your control, can help you reduce worry, anxiety, unhappiness and other negative emotions.

In today's episode we pause to reflect on the lessons we've learned in the first year of The Good Life Podcast. In this retrospective, your host, Sean Murray revisits some of the most impactful guests and topics from 2020. There are a couple of motivations for this. First, we launched in January of 2020, so we're also celebrating the first year of The Good Life Podcast. Second, the audience has grown tremendously since we launched. Many of you who may have joined in the summer or in fall might not be aware of the episodes and guests from earlier in the year. This may alert you to a topic of interest which might motivate you to go back and listen to an earlier episode. Third, as you know, one of the recurring themes we heard from the guests this year, as they shared with their thoughts on how to live the Good Life, is this idea of taking time for reflection. Whether it's writing in a journal or going for a walk, or whatever it is that you like to do, it's beneficial to set aside time periodically to revisit our recent experiences, conversations and reading to just reflect on the lessons we can draw from them.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Brian Portnoy explains the concept of “Hedonic Adaptation” and why it is so important to understanding happinessRyan Hanley explains the two ways Adam Smith tells us we can live our lives, and which path leads to true happiness and flourishingElizabeth Samet explains what Seneca means when he seeks “tranquility” and why it is so important for living the good lifeWilliam Irvine explains why it is important we adapt a “philosophy of life” and why he chose StoicismMichael Erwin explains what he means by solitude, and why it's so importantJames Mustich talks about finding the next book to read and why we need to follow our instinctsScott Hambrick makes the case for reading the Great BooksJonathan Clements talks about the role money and wealth play in achieving happinessBOOKS AND RESOURCESThe Geometry of Wealth: How to Shape a Life of Money & Meaning by Brian PortnoyOur Great Purpose: Adam Smith on Living a Better Life by Ryan Patrick HanleyLeadership: Essential Writings by Our Greatest Thinkers by Elizabeth SametA Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy by William B.

Is modern Stoicism just self help rebranded for tech bros or something more interesting? Rebecca went to Stoicon Athens to meet the Stoics and imbibe some wisdom only a few miles away from the very porch where Stoic philosophy first kicked off. While Cat put the ancient philosophy to the test and tried living like a Stoic for a week. We talk about our experiences compare Stoicism to other philosophies and engage in an impromptu (much needed) Stoic inspired therapy session. Exploring esoteric, paranormal and spiritual topics from two completely different perspectives we're The Seeker and The Skeptic.

In this episode I am joined by my wife Hannah Braime to discuss William B. Irvine's book, A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy. This book argues that the philosophy of stoicism is relevant to modern life and can be used to help you live well, according to your own values. We recorded the episode for the Psychology Book Club. I am sharing it here because the themes are highly relevant to The Voluntary Life. Show Notes: A Guide To The Good Life by William B. Irvine Psychology Book Club Hannah Braime
