The Stoic Philosophy: Being Stoic
The podcast episode discusses the misconception surrounding the term 'stoic' and how it has come to mean someone who is cold and unfeeling. However, when examining the writings of prominent Stoic philosophers such as Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Seneca, it becomes evident that stoicism is about passion and joy. Stoics recognize that they cannot control what others say or think about them, so they choose to focus on what they can control – their reactions. By not allowing others to have power over their emotions, stoics preserve their inner peace.
