Practical Stoicism
Evergreen Podcasts
Stoicism is the pursuit of Virtue (Aretê), which was defined by the Ancient Greeks as "the knowledge of how to live excellently," Stoicism is a holistic life philosophy meant to guide us towards the attainment of this knowledge through the development of our character. While many other Stoicism podcasts focus on explaining Ancient Stoicism in an academic or historical context, Practical Stoicism strives to port the ancient wisdom of this 2300-plus-year-old Greek Philosophy into contemporary times to provide practical advice for living today, not two millennia ago. Join American philosopher of Stoicism Tanner Campbell, every Monday and Friday, for new episodes.

Coffee Mugs, Loss, and Death
If you came across Stoicism in the early 2010's (as I did) you likely heard something about a coffee mug shattering into a million pieces and how you could use this analogy to deal with death and loss. That probably didn't make a lot sense to you at first - it may have even seemed insane. There's something to this caffeinate analogy, though - and there's something practical we can extract from it to apply in our daily lives.--Get rid of ads and support our work : https://link.stoicismpod.com/membersHang out with us in our free listener community: https://link.stoicismpod.com/discordJoin our daily Stoic journaling program : https://link.stoicismpod.com/journalingJoin our Stoic mentoring community : https://link.stoicismpod.com/path --View a list of our sponsors : https://link.stoicismpod.com/sponsors--Visit our website : https://stoicismpod.comCheck out our reading list : https://stoicismpod.com/suggested-readingRead our articles : https://stoicismpod.com/category/articles--Online copy of Meditations (Long) : https://link.stoicismpod.com/meditations-longOnline copy of Meditations (Casaubon) : https://link.stoicismpod.com/meditations-casaubonOnline copy of Seneca's Letters : https://link.stoicismpod.com/letters-- Learn more about your ad choices.
