Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the Podcast on Stoicism
What is Stoicism? Is it about suppressing your emotions and becoming a cold, detached thinker? Or is it the path to inner freedom, resilience, and purpose?
In this deep-dive episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, Benny and Brendan unpack the true meaning of Stoicism, exploring its origins, key concepts, and modern relevance. From virtue ethics and emotional mastery to the dichotomy of control and living in accordance with nature, they guide you through the heart of this ancient philosophy with clarity and personal insight.
Learn how Stoicism is not about becoming emotionless or selfish, but about becoming the kind of person who improves themselves and contributes meaningfully to the world.
🎯 Topics covered include:
What Stoicism is (and what it is not)
The four Stoic virtues: wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance
How Stoicism compares to Buddhism and cognitive behavioral therapy
