Was sagen empirische Studien zur Wirkung von praktiziertem Stoizismus? Dieser Frage gehen Markus und Ralph in dieser Folge des Stoiker Podcasts nach. Die Podcaster werfen einen Blick auf die Studienlage aus der Psychologie und aus den Umfragen der Veranstaltungen des Modern Stoicism. Dabei besprechen sie, wie wichtig eine gute Interpretation von Stoizismus für die Aussagekraft von Studien ist und werfen dann einen detaillierten Blick auf die Umfragen aus der Stoic Week sowie dem "Stoic Mindfulness and Resilience Training". Ralph und Markus beantworten dann die Fragen: Welchen Einfluss hat das Praktizieren von Stoizismus über einen bestimmten Zeitraum? Welcher unerwartete Faktor für Lebensqualität verbessert sich? Wer "profitiert" vom Stoizismus am meisten?

"Courage is knowledge of which things are to be chosen and avoided and neither." Diogenes Laertius, 7.92     In this episode of The Stoic Salon Podcast, we discuss how Stoicism defines courage and how courage is connected with the other virtues of wisdom, justice, and balance. If you are interested in learning more, join us in October 2022 for our Courageous Paths to Flourishing, Stoicon Women. Our theme this year is courage and we invite women and everyone to join us to learn what the Stoics might have to say about courage and to find and grow our own natural capacity for courage.

Stoicism expert and prominent author, Donald Robertson, joins Bulls, Bears, and Bourbon to discuss Stoic techniques for life (and investing). Donald is a writer, cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist, and trainer. Donald specializes in teaching evidence-based psychological skills and is known as an expert on the relationship between modern psychotherapy (CBT) and classical Greek and Roman philosophy. He was born in Irvine, Scotland, and grew up in Ayr. He worked as a psychotherapist for about twenty years in London, England, where he ran a training school for therapists, before emigrating to Canada in 2013 to focus on his writing and training courses. He now divides his time between Greece and Canada Donald is the author of several books and many articles on philosophy, psychotherapy, and psychological skills training, including How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. See his publications page for more information Donald is one of the founding members of Modern Stoicism Ltd., a multi-disciplinary team of psychologists, therapists, academic philosophers, and classicists responsible for running Stoic Week. Stoic Week started at the University of Exeter and grew into an annual international event in which thousands of people take part each year. It involves an online course teaching students how to apply ideas from ancient Stoic philosophy, combined with some techniques from modern psychology. [01:20] – Introducing Donald Robertson [5:33] – Stoic Techniques for investing and life [8:10] – The View from Above “People think that wealth is the most important thing in life, but he (Socrates) said I think actually they've got it back to front, and that what is most important to the good life is…wisdom and self-discipline.” “Wealth and all the other good things in life are a result of this wisdom.” “The Stoics without a shadow of a doubt in my mind were way ahead of their time in terms of their grasp of cognitive psychology…they really have a profound understanding.” [21:40] – Suspending Judgment and Catastrophizing “If you get too wrapped up in tunnel vision it makes you rubbish at problem-solving because you lose perspective and become rigid in your thinking, and it tends to amplify your feelings and make them overwhelming.” “We live in a world where we're surrounded by other people who consider in their vested interest to distort reality on our behalf. IN the ancient world those guys were called sophists…they traded in fear and anger because they wanted to provoke audiences to get their attention.” [36:10] – Wealth as a Preferred Indifferent “External wealth (property, money) is a preferred indifferent – what really matters is what we do with it…it's a means to an end.” [49:00] – The Contemplation of the Sage “There's only one person giving and receiving the advice in this relationship and that's you. When you imagine what a found investor would've done you're giving yourself advice…you're having an internal dialogue with yourself about it.” “You're accessing your own implicit wisdom actually…you're smarter than you realize.” [55:00] – Premeditation of Adversity “The Stoics believed we need to be realistic.” [1:19:30] – Marcus Aurelius [1:39:50] – The Meaning of Wealth “Wealth consists of having more than you need.” “As I get older, I spend less money – the more I earn the less I find myself spending.” [1:42:35] – Advice to Himself “I'd tell myself to reflect more on my own experience. I'd tell myself to review my life objectively from a detached perspective like I was observing the life of a stranger.” Links: https://donaldrobertson.name/ (Donald Robertson) https://www.vermillionprivatewealth.com/bullsbearsandbourbon (Bulls, Bears, and Bourbon) https://www.vermillionprivatewealth.com/ (Vermillion Private Wealth )...

Marcus Aurelius (121-180) staat weer volop in de belangstelling in de Nederlandse media. Aurelius heerste over het Romeinse Rijk in een rumoerige politieke periode én tijdens een pandemie. Tijdens zijn keizerschap beroepte hij zich op het stoïcisme. Hoe ging het stoïcisme samen met het keizerschap? Wat stond centraal in het stoïcisme van Aurelius? En wat kunnen wij vandaag leren van Aurelius over stoïcisme in de politiek en in de maatschappij? Dennis de Gruijter, hoofddocent van de Stoïcijnse week spreekt over Aurelius in de ISVW podcast.

In this special episode, Brett explains the ancient philosophy of stoicism, introduces three great stoic authors, and talks about what it was like to live like a Stoic during this year's annual Stoic Week event. He closes by looking at Stoicism's similarities to Christianity and asks listeners to consider how both belief systems are present in the United States today. https://www.burtreadsbooks.com Brett's Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/15X0LWXA5T9O2?type=wishlist&filter=unpurchased&sort=default&viewType=grid  

Let the ruling classes tremble: Karl Marx and Friederich Engels have looked to history and believe they can see its end. In his review of "The Communist Manifesto," Brett counts Marx and Engels among the many genius thinkers of the European Enlightenment tradition. Like many of these thinkers, Marx and Engels inherit not only a new way of exercising human reason but (like the Puritan Christians before them) an obsessive compulsion to find universal principles that can order and discipline society. Beneath their incisive observations about alienation and the changing world order Brett finds a potent but reductive account of the human enterprise.

I've just completed Stoic Week! What the heck is Stoic Week you ask? It's an online event in which people from all over the world attempt to live like a Stoic for seven days. It's run every year by the Modern Stoic and basically provides a framework for everyone to join in with, for free, for one week. I have another podcast that dives much deeper into this, over on The Seeker and the Skeptic, check that out if you're interested in learning more about Stoicism - both the good bits and the not so good bits. So for those who aren't totally sure what stoicism is or fancy hearing my garbled explanation, here goes: Stoicism is a school of philosophy founded in Athens, Greece by Zeno of Citium around 300 BC. Zeno would lecture to his students from a painted porch (stoa polikile) and that's where the word 'Stoic' comes from. The teachings spread far and wide, influencing the likes of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, right up to modern day stoic bros like Tim Ferriss and Ryan Holiday, which is where I first came across the philosophy. I'll be revealing the four reasons stoicism is so useful for creative introverts today, in this week's podcast.   Resources mentioned: Modern Stoic How to be a Stoic by Massimo Pigliucci A Guide to the Good Life by William B. Irvine The Tao of Seneca presented by Tim Ferriss I haven't vetted all of these, but you can have stoic fun with this list.

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.

Microsoft surprised just about everyone this week by showing off a pair of new mobile devices with two screens apiece. The pocketable Surface Duo and the tablet-like Surface Neo won't actually go on sale for at least one year, but Microsoft trotted the devices out anyway to signal how it's positioning its future in the mobile landscape. The company’s hardware chief, Panos Panay, joins us on the show this week to talk about the Duo and Neo, and what they say about productivity in the mobile age. Also, Panay urges us not to call the Android-powered Duo a phone … even though it makes phone calls. Also, news from Facebook, a new app from Instagram, and some not-self-driving car news from Tesla. Show Notes: Read Lauren Goode on the dual-screen Surface devices, and everything else new in the Surface lineup. Facebook’s leaked audio is here. Aarian Marshall tells us about Tesla’s Smart Summon. Arielle Pardes tells us about Instagram Threads. Recommendations: Arielle recommends Stoic Week. Mike recommends the Open Ears Project. Lauren recommends catching up on HBO’s Succession, as well as this Outside podcast episode, titled “Getting Past Our Fear of Great White Sharks”. Michael Calore is @snackfight.
