What's the Difference Between Stoicism and Buddhism?

Welcome to the Siim Land Podcast I’m your host Siim Land and our guest today is Donald Robertson. Donald is a writer about stoic philosophy and an expert in cognitive behavioral therapy. He’s written several books like How to Think Like a Roman Emperor and Stoicism and the Art of Happiness. Donald has just now come out with a new comic book called Verissimus that talks about the life of Marcus Aurelius and the philosophy of stoicism in a comic book format.

My favorite light and sleep optimization company BluBlox has rebranded itself as BON CHARGE. They’re now involved with a huge range of evidence-based products to improve your wellness and life in every way. Their extensive range of premium wellness products help you sleep better, perform better, have more energy, recover faster, balance hormones, and reduce inflammation…the list is endless. From blue light glasses to EMF management and circadian-friendly lighting, BON CHARGE products help you naturally address the issues of our modern-day way of life effortlessly and with maximum impact. My favorite products are the red light lightbulbs because they can be used to create a melatonin-friendly environment in your bedroom by shining only red and not blue or green lightwaves that would reduce your sleep quality. After using these red lightbulbs, I find it much easier to fall asleep and feel less awake before bed.
