Deep dives
Questioning assumptions
When we make assumptions about a situation, we are essentially guessing and asserting our opinion as truth. Acting upon our assumptions without confirming them can lead to trouble. To avoid holding on too tightly to our assumptions, it is important to be humble, assume that we could be wrong, and be curious. For example, instead of assuming that a friend is upset with us, we can ask them directly if there is something we did to cause their distress. By questioning our assumptions and seeking clarification, we can make better judgments and improve the situation.
Stoic Coffee House community
The Stoic Coffee Break podcast has taught the host that while the principles of stoicism are simple in concept, their practical application can be challenging. To support listeners in applying stoic principles to their daily lives, the Stoic Coffee House community was created. This community aims to connect individuals who are working on implementing stoic principles and offers various resources such as the Mind Over Mood 30 Day Stoic Challenge course, meditations, discussions, Bookly Month Club, bonus episodes, and more. By joining, members can work together to improve themselves and make a positive impact in the world.
