In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking to Chris Fisher. Chris is well educated on Stoicism and his background in the military, law enforcement, and civilian sector provides him with broad life experiences which he relates well to the concepts of Stoicism. He is my first guest who is a career law enforcement officer and I think his perspective on that role from a Stoic perspective is unique and valuable. Please read below to learn more about him. Bio: Chris was first introduced to Stoic tenets while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. He spent twenty years working in Silicon Valley, California, as a computer hardware specialist, software engineer, sales executive, and regional manager for a large software company. In 2004, Chris moved to Florida and returned to public service as a law enforcement officer. He has been a detective for the past ten years. In preparation for his retirement from law enforcement, he relied on his life-long interest in photography to create a real estate photography business in 2019. Chris Fisher was appointed Scholarch of the College of Stoic Philosophers in August 2021. He came to the College in 2011, where he completed the Stoic Essential Studies in 2012 and the Marcus Aurelius School in 2013. He was a mentor and tutor at the College from 2015 to 2019. He also sat on the New Stoa board and served as Dean of Students. Chris is the author of the Traditional Stoicism blog and the Stoicism on Fire podcast. In 2016, Stoicism Today published Chris' defense of the traditional Stoic doctrine of Providence in “Stoicism Today: Selected Writings II.” In 2019, he contributed a chapter about Stoicism in a book titled “Pandeism: An Anthology of the Creative Mind.” Chris currently lives near Tampa, Florida, with his wife of twenty-five years and two of his five children who haven't yet flown from the nest.

If you want your children and your wife and friends to survive no matter what, you are silly; for you are wanting things to be up to you that are not up to you, and things to be your own that are not your own. You are just as foolish if you want your slave to make no mistakes; for you are wanting inferiority not to be a flaw but something else. But if your wish is not to be frustrated in your desires, this is in your power. Train yourself, then, in this power that you do have. Our master is anyone who has the power to implement or prevent the things that we want or don't want. Whoever wants to be free, therefore, should wish for nothing or avoid nothing that is up to other people. Failing that, one is bound to be a slave. (Ench 14) There's nothing new in this chapter of the Encheiridion for those following the Exploring Encheiridion series. That is the nature of the Encheiridion, which Arrian created as a handbook a Stoic prokopton could keep readily available as a primer for Stoic doctrines. Therefore, many of the lessons are repeated in different forms. Nevertheless, as I was preparing for this podcast episode, I was struck by a question that inspired me to take this episode in another direction. The question is this: Why would anyone with a conscious or unconscious allegiance to the modern secular worldview consider Stoicism a viable way of life. Consider some other passages we've already covered in this Exploring Encheiridion series: When you kiss your little child or your wife, say that you are kissing a human being. Then, if one of them dies, you will not be troubled. (Encheiridion 3) Don't ask for things to happen as you would like them to, but wish them to happen as they actually do, and you will be all right. (Encheiridion 8) Never say about anything, “I have lost it”; but say, “I have returned it.” Has your little child died? “It has been returned.” Has your wife died? “She has been returned.” “I have been robbed of my land.” No, that has been returned as well. (Encheiridion 11) These statements by Epictetus contradict what all moderns, those raised in the West at least, are taught from childhood. When a person views these statements from the perspective of modernity, they will likely ask: How can anyone past or present assent to ideas like this? What kind of worldview could possibly support such apparently odd and counterintuitive ideas? Therein lies the conundrum moderns face when moderns encounter the Stoic texts. We are confronted with words like God, logos, and providence from the ancient Stoic worldview and likely lack the necessary knowledge to understand the meaning of these words within the context of Hellenistic Greek culture and the holistic philosophical system known as Stoicism. If moderns have any familiarity with words like God, logos, and providence, it likely comes from religious training or college professors who mocked these ideas. Therefore, secular-minded, enlightened, educated moderns might feel justified in rejecting those ideas. In fact, moderns may feel compelled to reject them as antiquated, pre-Enlightenment ideas. Unfortunately, that judgment of Stoicism is based on a modern worldview with some underlying assumptions and consequences moderns may have never considered. I know that was true for me. As I've previously said on this podcast, I was a hardcore atheist when I started studying Stoicism. It took me almost a year to overcome the misconceptions and cognitive biases of my modern worldview. Worldviews are essential because they guide our beliefs and actions in ways that may evade our conscious awareness and circumspection. Jean-Baptiste Gourinat wrote about this in a paper titled Stoicism Today in 2009. He discussed the connection between Stoicism and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—CBT—which is partly derived from Stoic principles. He wrote: Cognitive therapy is based on three hypotheses: (1) one's behaviour springs from one's view of oneself and the world,

LifeBlood: We talked about critical thinking, why it's more important than ever, how to get better at it, how to become a better consumer of news and information, and why it's harder than ever to do it. We discussed the idea of information literacy, why it's harder today than in times past to be able to trust our news sources, the reasons behind that, and how to become better consumers of news.  We talked about critical thinking, how it has been taught in Universities for a long time, and how it's value and the need for it is bigger than it's ever been, how the Stoics thought about it and applied it.   We discussed the Stoic virtue of justice, how to apply it to the biggest problems and issues were facing today like vaccines and abortion, how it's really important to go far beyond rhetoric and talking points if you really want to form an opinion on these issues, and how to engage in civilized discourse on difficult issues.   We talked about how to avoid binary thinking, how to appreciate and consider nuance, why it's essential to consider motivations and how to pursue truth with Dr. Gregory Sadler, philosopher, speaker, author, podcaster, consultant, coach and content creator.  He's the Editor of Stoicism Today, a Professor and the CoOrganizer of STOICON.   Listen to learn why history doesn't repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes, and how to be cognizant and mindful of that reality!

Stoicism has been around since the 3rd century BCE and my next guest, Matt Van Natta, has been studying Stoic philosophy for almost that long. In case you missed it the first time around, some famous stoics of the distant past include Marcus Aurelius (a roman emperor), Epictetus, Seneca the Younger, and who could forget Zeno of Citium? Matt is the creator of the podcast Good Fortune and the blog Immoderate Stoic. His podcasts and writings focus on how to apply stoicism in the modern world. He writes books, drinks coffee, beer, and whiskey, and contemplates the human condition. In this episode we talk about stoicism in the modern world and his new book - The Beginners Guide to Stoicism: Tools for Emotional Resilience and Positivity. The stoics managed life pretty well and this book describes lots of great life navigation tools you can use right now. More about Matt at: https://immoderatestoic.com/

Greg Sadler is a philosopher, academic entrepreneur, founder of ReasonIO and editor of Stoicism Today. In today’s episode we explore the various causes and manifestations of anger, the difference between chronic and acute anger, and the relationship between anger and vengeance. We discuss why some people’s anger becomes directed inwards, towards the self, while other people’s anger is directed towards other people and the outside world, why anger can sometimes be a productive or even an enjoyable experience, and we close up by turning to stoic philosophy for some tips and advice on how to avoid hitting the roof when you’re absolutely fucking steaming. *** BOOKS MENTIONED *** "Of Anger" by Seneca https://amzn.to/2Jeu45Y "The Republic" by Plato https://amzn.to/2HjVXxb "Nicomachean Ethics" by Aristotle https://amzn.to/2K38brs "Discourses" by Epictetus https://amzn.to/2HiL4aG *** DONATE OR SUBSCRIBE *** http://myownworstenemy.org/support *** SOCIAL MEDIA *** Facebook: http://facebook.com/myownworstenemyorg Twitter: http://twitter.com/dannydwhittaker *** CREDITS *** Theme Music: Falling Down by Ryan Little http://youtube.com/user/TheR4C2010 Podcast Image: Fred https://flic.kr/p/KyffcB DISCLAIMER: My Own Worst Enemy is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk and affiliated sites.
