Diving into the works and wisdom of one of the world's great philosophers, Seneca-----The duty of a man is to be useful to his fellow-men; if possible, to be useful to many of them; failing this, to be useful to a few; failing this, to be useful to his neighbours, and, failing them, to himself: for when he helps others, he advances the general interests of mankind. - Seneca-----3:30 - The purpose of studying philosophy "[Philosophy]  moulds and constructs the soul; it orders our life, guides our conduct, shows us what we should do and what we should leave undone."6:50 - The usage of time It is a small part of life we really live. Indeed, all the rest is not life, but merely of time. People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.11:25- Self-made suffering 20:55- Find a catoSo choose yourself a Cato…Choose someone whose way of life as well as words…have won your approval. Be always pointing him out to yourself either as your guardian or as your model. There is a need, in my view, for someone as a standard against which our characters can measure themselves. 25:10 - On happinessWe have reached the heights if we know what it is that we find joy in and we have not placed our happiness in the control of the externals…Above all, my dear Lucilius, make this your business: learn how to feel joy.32:50 - On angerNo plague has cost the human race more dear: you will see slaughterings and poisonings, accusations and counter-accusations, sacking of cities, ruin of whole peoples, the persons of princes sold into slavery by auction, torches applied to roofs, and fires not merely confined within city-walls but making whole tracts of country glow with hostile flame.36:40 -Lessons/takeaways-----You can check out my book, website, and apparel below: WebsiteBook: Chasing Greatness: Timeless Stories on the Pursuit of Excellence  ApparelInstagram-----If you want to read more of Seneca's works, you can check out some books belowLetter from a StoicOn the Shortness of Life

John Vervaeke explores the intricate relationship between beauty and stoicism. Vervaeke delves into the philosophical underpinnings of stoicism, focusing on its emphasis on beauty as a pathway to understanding reality and virtue. He articulates how stoicism aligns beauty with wisdom, offering insights into cognitive science, virtue ethics, and the transformative power of beauty in perceiving the world.   Resources: Dr. John Vervaeke: Website | YouTube | Patreon | X | Facebook The Vervaeke Foundation   Books, Articles, and Publications Saving Beauty - Byung-Chul Han The Agony of Eros - Byung-Chul Han Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis - John Vervaeke, Christopher Mastropietro, Filip Miscevic On Bullshit - Harry G.

You're listening to the Stoic Solutions Podcast - practical wisdom for everyday life inspired by the ancient tradition of Stoic Philosophy from Greece and Rome. I'm your host, Justin Vacula. Visit my website at StoicSolutionsPodcast.com. This is episode 108: Update on Jordan Peterson with guest Kai Whiting. I spoke with Kai Whiting about Jordan Peterson's recent comments on marriage, namely that marriage is one's best bet at happiness and that people who choose not to get married or have children are immature and deluded. We explain that a single life can be preferable to marriage and that one particular life path, specifically marriage, is not appropriate for everyone. Kai is a lecturer and researcher in Stoicism and sustainability at UCLouvain in Belgium. He recently published the book ‘Being Better: Stoicism for a World Worth Living In' and has been active in stoic communities offering Stoic mentoring with The Walled Garden philosophical society. Kai's spoken at numerous events, including Stoicon, and has authored several academic papers focused on Stoicism.

Assoc. Prof. Matt Sharpe teaches philosophy at Deakin University, and since 2010 has increasingly been teaching Stoic contents, and engaging with modern Stoicism. He has appeared at Stoicon where he spoke on Stoicism and comedy, and has published widely on Albert Camus, including a piece on Camus and Stoicism to mark the 60th anniversary of his death (January 2020). Stoicism, Bullying and Beyond is the first book applying Stoic philosophy, and its extraordinary exercises in resilience and self-care, to the epidemic problem of bullying and 'mobbing'. Aimed preeminently at targets, it offers guidance on managing negative emotions, and making good decisions, in what for many people is the greatest challenge of their lives.

Этот эпизод подкаста был записан 21 февраля «У нас есть какая-то внутренняя Я-история и она может переходить не в усиливающую нас историю, а в мыслительную жвачку — такое радио, которое крутит одни и те же заезженные треки и рассказывает нам, какие мы есть, что мы можем, а чего не можем. И это иногда ведет к тому, что ты устаешь сам от себя. Стоицизм, напротив, как раз дает тебе возможность себя собрать исходя их тех компонентов, которые тебе кажутся важными». «Мне представляется, что мировоззрение — это такая сущность, у которой стенки как мембраны. То есть полупроницаемые. Это не абсолютно открытая система и не абсолютно закрытая. Если она была бы абсолютно закрытой, она была бы неизменяющейся, ригидной, не антихрупкой. Если же она абсолютно открыта и у нее нет даже формально очерченных границ, она будет бесконечно расплываться в системе чужих представлений и мнений».

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!

This meta-sode (a self-referential and possibly self-indulgent episode) is a summary of what we've learned in the last year or so of exploring the fringes of spirituality, religion and the occult. We've entered altered states, performed occult rituals and received transmissions from Angelic beings and it won't surprise regular listeners to hear, it's changed us! Some of our experiences have been scary or fun but in this episode we're talking about the ones that have affected us the most deeply and which we have integrated into our lives.

You're probably already a stoic in someway. It's part of our culture. Influenced by Socrates and emerging in Ancient Greece in the 3rd century BC, it's a foundation of Christianity, is maybe the first psychology, contributed to the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, guided a Roman Emporer, and has become increasingly popular in recent years, through events like Stoicon, Annual Stoic Week, and a flurry of new of popular books and articles. Could it really be a guide to the best possible life? This introduction to Stoicism will mix two things: what the Stoics of Ancient Greece and Rome actually said – the original doctrines – and how this might be interpreted and be useful today. IN the first part, I'll look at the Ancient Stoics – Marcus Aurelius (Meditations), Epictetus (Discourses), Seneca, and Zeno; and in the second part, I'll look at Stoicism in practice, especially through William Irvine's A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy. The Greek Stoics divided Stoicism into three parts: logic, physics, and ethics. None of these terms, though, meant what they do today. Logic was formal logic, but also rhetoric, language, poetry Physics mostly meant the study of God and the world – essentially how things work. They also broke all of this into two parts: theory and practice Philosophy, importantly, needed to both studied and practiced, learned and executed. Exercises, reflection, and self-improvement were fundamental. Then & Now is FAN-FUNDED! Support me on Patreon and pledge as little as $1 per video: http://patreon.com/user?u=3517018

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.

Na świecie, zwłaszcza zachodnim, obserwujemy ostatnio prawdziwy renesans stoicyzmu. Jednym z jego przejawów są coraz częściej organizowane zjazdy i konferencje gromadzące sympatyków współczesnej praktyki stoickiej. Razem z przyjacielem i jednocześnie współtwórcą projektu Stoic Way pojechaliśmy do Aten na Stoicon, cykliczną imprezę powstałą z inicjatywy Donalda Robertsona, kanadyjskiego psychoterapeuty i popularyzatora stoicyzmu. W dzisiejszym odcinku podcastu prezentuję drugą część mojej relacji z imprezy, w szczególności dwa niezwykłe wywiady (w języku angielskim) z Thomasem Jarrettem, emerytowanym marines, autorem Warrior resilience training oraz z wspomnianym już wyżej Donaldem Robertsonem.

Na świecie, zwłaszcza zachodnim, obserwujemy ostatnio prawdziwy renesans stoicyzmu. Jednym z jego przejawów są coraz częściej organizowane zjazdy i konferencje gromadzące sympatyków współczesnej praktyki stoickiej. Razem z przyjacielem i jednocześnie współtwórcą projektu Stoic Way pojechaliśmy do Aten na Stoicon, cykliczną imprezę powstałą z inicjatywy Donalda Robertsona, kanadyjskiego psychoterapeuty i popularyzatora stoicyzmu. W dzisiejszym odcinku podcastu relacjonuję tę wyprawę oraz udostępniam wywiad, jaki przeprowadziłem w Atenach z Piotrem Stankiewiczem, znanym polskim popularyzatorem stoicyzmu, który miał na stoiconie swoje wystąpienie.

Na pewno znacie zasadę: "Jeśli ktoś czegoś nie umie nauczyć, to znaczy że sam nie rozumie".Do takich osób na pewno nie należy mój dzisiejszy gość dr. Piotr Stankiewicz, autor m.in. książki pt.: "Sztuka życia według stoików", który wystąpił już w Lepiej Teraz w epizodzie #095 pt. "Dlaczego liderzy i ludzie sukcesu praktykują stoicyzmPiotr należy na najważniejszych propagatorów stoicyzmu w Polsce, obok takich nazwisk jak Tomasz Mazur i Marcin Fabjański. Jest częstym gościem polskich i zagranicznych mediów. W tym roku został szczególnie wyróżniony, bo był jednym ze współorganizatorów corocznej konferencji STOICON 2018, która odbyła się w Londynie. Był jednym z dwojga nieanglojęzycznych mówców na tej typowo anglosaskiej imprezie entuzjastów stoicyzmu.Można się z nim spotkać podczas odbywających się w każdym miesięcy Warsztatów Filozoficznych w Podkowie Leśnej, o których informuje na swoim fan pagu.Z wywiadu dowiesz się min:Co to jest STOICON?Na czym polegają Warsztaty Filozoficzne?Na jakie spotkania filozoficzne można uczęszczać w Polsce?Kto jest fascynatem stoicyzmu?Jakie nowe książki o stoicyzmie planuje Piotr?Czy stoicyzm jest lekiem na "zło" świata?Jak spotkania pomagają w praktyce stoicyzmu?Ważne linki:https://web.facebook.com/SztukaZyciaWedlugStoikowhttp://myslnikstankiewicza.pl/o-autorze/Zapraszam Cię do słuchania Podcastu LEPIEJ TERAZ na iTunes i android-owych appkach do podcastów. np. PlayerFMJeśli Ci się podobało, wstaw proszę pozytywną recenzję na iTunes

Dzisiaj moim gościem jest Piotr Stankiewicz: pisarz, wykładowca i bloger Myślnik Stankiewicza, który prowadzi fan page "Sztuka życia według Stoików". Jest autorem książki o tym samym tytule i która według mnie jest jedną z najlepszych pozycji z dziedziny rozwoju osobistego.Piotr z którym spotkałem się , by porozmawiać o stoikach pracuje na co dzień jako doktorant filozofii, stypendysta m. in. Fundacji Kościuszkowskiej i Narodowego Programu Rozwoju Humanistyki. Od lat jest związany ze stoicyzmem, z międzynarodowym zespołem „Modern Stoicism” i z Uniwersytetem Warszawskim.Ponad rok spędził w Omaha w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Obecnie mieszka pod Warszawą. Tęskni za żeglarstwem. Pisze. Niedługo ukaże się jego kolejna książka.Pomysł na zaproszenie Piotra do Lepiej Teraz narodził się w trakcie lektury jego książki, która w przystępny sposób przybliża i interpretuje nam dzieła spisane 2 tysiące lat temu.
