Episode notes

I think it's fair to say that a lack of general understanding, both of the spartans and the stoics, is what creates a lot of this. I'm in the same chapter as you two write about your avoidance of dairy products. And i i found this very interesting for a couple of reasons. Obviously, without getting into the details of the underlying a ethical issues you have with the production of dairy products,. What i found interesting was the way they i you you've come to the conclusion that, for ethical reasons, you don't want to consume dairy products. However, you approach this init in, i think, a very positive way.

This interview of Kai Whiting and Leonidas Konstantakos covers their 2021 book titled, Being Better: Stoicism for a World Worth Living In. Their book provides a short (136 pages, excluding notes) yet highly informative introduction to Stoicism as a way of life. Being Better was written for a general audience, and it is the best book I've read for two types of people. First, for those new to Stoicism, Being Better provides an excellent introduction. It includes just enough philosophical theory and history to acquaint the reader with Stoicism. The second audience is the person considering Stoicism but is unsure it's right for them. After reading Being Better, readers will know if Stoicism is a philosophical way of life worth pursuing further. Finally, I cannot think of a better book for those who want to give a short, easy-to-read, informative, and interesting book to a friend or family member who is curious about Stoicism.
