    "One of the reasons for the return of stoic philosophy is that it helps you focus on what you can control, which helps reduce stress and makes you feel that your life has some meaning," reflects Massimo Pigliucci, PhD in Genetics, Evolutionary Biology and Philosophy. He encountered stoicism at a critical moment in his life, when he was going through a divorce and the death of his father. He sought answers from ancient philosophers and discovered the so-called "ethics of virtue", an approach to life that proposes the improvement of the human being through the development of values.

    I encountered stoicism about 2 years ago at the age of 29 and It definitely has changed my perspective on life. I was a christian for about 15 years of my life and to be honest stoic philosophy has helped me a lot more than religion ever has. I am not knockin on religion but yea stoicism is wisdom at its finest and has helped an ignorant man like myself see things clearer. I live here in Mexico and no one I know has any idea what it is and im like wtf why not lol

      Christianism (speicifically the Bible) although can prepare you for a good and meanigful life, its not a manual.
      Through intense and deep learning (much more than typical sunday morning services ever go into) one can derive a complete understanding of life. But a cursory look into the Bible will provide cursory instruction only.
      'should i get drink alcohol? the plain text says no problem, just dont get drunk, so you may think drinking constantly without ever getting drunk is ok. Deep understanding will show you that you were created for a purpose, being loved and prepared for all good works. Drinking can hinder that, some may think of you differently, some may not welcome you, some may struggle with their past demons. Likewise all is good in Moderation and pretty much all is bad in extremes or if you develop a dependency. Continuous drinking is alcoholism even if you never get drunk and its negative since it affects your will and readiness to affront life.
      Yet a stoic would write that drinking should be in moderation and that it should never be an end in itself, but only an enjoyable moment with others.
      So while the Bible contains the same wisdom, preachers (and you) may not actually go deep enough to actually get to that truth, but stoic philosophers are writing basically specifically manuals on how to live.

    Stoicism, has such applications even today, although it's origins go back over 2,000 years. A philosophy that has us ask, how can we live a better life, how can we be better humans, seems just right for todays times. It also focuses on us, and what we can do personally, which is what we have complete control over, and yet the philosophy encourages us as global citizens, and that we are social animals who should be striving to improve not just for us, but for how all of society can benefit from our personal development. Bravo Massimo!

    I think I´ve been approaching life as an estoic "unconsciously", when I am dealing with something painful or passing through difficult moments I just look up to the sky and I remember that there is a universe outside with billions and billions of stars, planets, galaxies, etc, etc. then having that idea on my mind I just come to terms and accept that my problems are not of a big deal.

    It's a great interview, excellent interviewer and interviewee.
    One thing I have a gripe about is the claim, which comes off as an attempt to legitimize stoicism (an attempt that is not needed), by claiming that since Aquinas did X then Christianity adopted it. Aquinas is a post schism erudite, so the fact that in Judaism and Orthodox Christianity (based on Judaism) these principles existed regardless of stoicism shoots this down.

    Por qué un italiano y una española que tienen un idioma mutuamente inteligible tienen que hablar en inglés. Es una cosa absurda y que parece que viene porque lo que se dice en inglés tiene más peso, es más "cientifico". En fin, el desprecio a lo nuestro en un ámbito más.

      A pesar de ser muy similares, no siempre es fácil entender a un italiano siendo español y viceversa. Si ambos tienen un buen nivel de inglés como es este caso, para agilizar la charla hablarán en ese idioma que ambos controlan.

    The first answer is completely wrong. If that's the basis of the conversation, there's no point in listening any further. An actual stoic embraces all things natural -- which includes ALL of the emotions in all of their beautiful colors. A stoic does not suppress some emotions and enhance others! To what end???? Wow that would be completely stupid!! A stoic understands that emotions are tools that are to be personally used, not mindlessly displayed to others. Stoics appreciate the opinion of others, but actually don't care what anyone thinks. You can't learn to be a stoic -- you either are or you aren't.
