Introduction

The Stowak Coffee Break is a weekly podcast where I take an aspect of stoicism and do my best to break it down to its most important points. This week's episode is called All the Fields. Eric Cloward: Are you afraid of your feelings? Do you avoid numb or shut down your emotions? How much stress and anxiety do you create trying to avoid uncomfortable emotions? Too many people believe that everything must be pleasurable in life. Emotions are powerful forces in our lives. The better we are at managing our emotions, the more control we have over our lives. We often cause more damage than the emotions themselves.
