The Strong Stoic Podcast #373 - Creating Beauty as a Stoic
Jul 2, 2025

This summer has been, for me, the summer of beauty.
What I mean by that is, this summer in my household, we have focused on making our home beautiful. Painting. Lawn care. Home decorations. Feng shui, if you will. It’s not that we were negligent of these things in the past—though you can listen to my earlier reflections on lawn care and decide for yourself—but this year, we’ve paid extra attention to them.
And it got me thinking: what role does beauty play in a Stoic life?
