I'm always curious to think about putting that into practice in daily life like one thing I've found helpful for me and like challenging is a big and in-between things. In stoicism maybe there could be a greater emphasis on the and like which really you know is the remedy to over attachment and catastrophizing to some extent. It's easier to decontastify things but that comes from taking a longer view on events which goes against our instincts our animal nature when we're under stress.
In this episode, I chat with J.W. Bertolotti host of the In Search of Wisdom podcast, and founder of the Perennial Leader Project. Josh was one of the speakers at our Stoicon-x Military event a few years ago. We’re both very active on Substack now, Josh at Perennial Meditations so I thought it would be a great opportunity to reconnect and chat about philosophy as a guide to life.
