Thanks for creating this podcast. It helped to enforce something I am learning from Ryan's work, is that oddly we likely understand the meaning of ideas like Memento Mori the first time we heard it, yet we need to repeatedly review, reread and reassess it many times until at some point you really get it and change your life and your thought patterns and better yourself and your life because of it, and even after that we should continue to review it periodocally because our views on life and our mindset keeps changing. Stoicism has been an excellent guide for self improvement for me. I wish I had heard about it decades ago, and I hope it gets into the education system so people of all ages can benefit from it. My son asked me recently what I thought the solution was to help the homeless drug addicts that are in many cities, my first thought was to teach them stoicism so they can have a better philosophy on life and try to make the changes and get the help they need to live more fulfilling lives, and to teach stoicism in schools to prevent future generations from going dow the wrong paths.
Thanks for such a great video - and Jeff Waldman was awesome if you see him next say he made this podcast really good. The way he listens and then reflects is really cool, and humble and i need that skill big time. Lots of cool insights always appreciate it.
Good episode. Makes me think. I'm having a hard time finding a teacher, but maybe I can become one in my work life. Look forward to the rest of the challenge.
Great stuff, thank you! Hello, All. I hope that your New Year is off to a nice start. I would be extremely grateful if I could have your help with remembering a quote heard on this channel at some point. I'm not sure if it was a newer or older video but here's some things I'm remembering. - I believe the theme/topic dealt with the act of speaking and/or being calculated and mindful in what we choose to say. - What I remember from the vibe of the quote was: One should not/ought not feel forced , compelled, or pressured to speak on a given topic by individuals/groups/social contexts. - One always has the right to say nothing - One is entitled to not have/share an opinion or speak on a given topic if it is not of interest May have been Seneca? Anyone have an idea? Thanks and be well.
