This month i talkd to bess selling author ryan holiday about stoicism. Can philosophy help us be less anxious? You are the source of the anxiety, not the external world. Each episode focuses on the ideas of a philosopher or school of thought from the past and explains why they still matter to day.
Rebecca Traister is a writer for New York and the author of Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger. Her latest article is "The Necessity of Hope."
“A big motivation of this piece, which I think is framed in this there’s still reason to hope is actually the inverse of that. Which is: Let us be crystal clear about what is happening, what is lost, what is violated. The cruelty, the horror, and the injustice, and that is it only moving toward worse right now. And to establish that to then say that it is the responsibility to really absorb that, and then figure out how to move forward.”
