Marcus Hedahl, an expert in Stoicism and the mind-body connection, discusses how our bodies influence our minds, the importance of maintaining a healthy body for mental clarity, and the concept of choice and independence in challenging circumstances. The conversation explores the Stoic perspective on the mind-body connection, touches on addressing pain and addiction as medical issues, and delves into philosophical aspects like determinism and reactions to stimuli.

Philosophy professor Marcus Hedahl joins the podcast to discuss happiness, the meaning of life, reframing stoic harm, the stoic view of death, and the importance of not judging others in stoicism.
