Welcome to day 2 of 100 days of Stoicism. In this episode, William explores the origins of Stoicism by delving into the life of its founder, Zeno of Citium.

Zeno's journey began with a catastrophic shipwreck that left him penniless, but this disaster led him to Athens, where he encountered the teachings of Socrates and the Cynics. Inspired by these philosophies, Zeno developed his own teachings, which later became known as Stoicism.

We discuss Zeno's core teachings, including the dangers of pursuing pleasure and attachment, and the importance of living in accordance with reason. We also reflect on Zeno’s wisdom through some of his famous quotes and his vision of a utopian society governed by rationality and equality.

Zeno’s story serves as a powerful reminder that even the most challenging circumstances can lead to profound personal growth and lasting contributions to humanity. Join us as we continue our journey through Stoicism, aiming to transform our lives with its timeless wisdom.
