From Today's Daily Stoic: It’s natural that the big moments of adversity and crisis would stand out to us. Epictetus, born into slavery. Marcus Aurelius, betrayed in a coup. Seneca, sent into exile. Musonius Rufus faced exile not once but four times. Po…lnkd.in/gKNW77Ui

From Today's Daily Stoic: Here’s a way to feel good every single day, no matter what happens. A way to appreciate even a day stuck in the airport or putting out fires. It’s an exercise from Seneca. A person who wraps up each day as if it were the end o…lnkd.in/gesNTFt4

From Today's Daily Stoic: The Stoics accepted that life could be cruel and random. They knew people were stupid and annoying. They did not deny that death was ever present. You might think the result of these beliefs was a dark and dour worldview. Certa…lnkd.in/ggq_V6eV

From Today's Daily Stoic: In the first century AD, few would have argued that Epictetus was the most powerful person in Rome. Few would have argued that this lowly slave possessed any power at all–in fact, the name said it all: Epictetus means acquired…lnkd.in/gr8kW7bu

From Today's Daily Stoic: One day everything is easy. The next, everything that can go wrong, does. One minute, everyone tells you you’re great. The next, they’ve all ganged up against you. Life is too short…and interminably long. Things move insanely f…lnkd.in/gmqJcJ_6

From Today's Daily Stoic: No one likes to be found at fault. In fact, this is what many of us walk around fearing–that we’ll be exposed as imposters, we’ll be put on the spot in front of people, we’ll have to admit error. This makes us defensive, it make…lnkd.in/gVEEheSr

From Today's Daily Stoic: What kept the Stoics going? Through those dark times, that real and unvarnished understanding of human nature and human life? As we talked about recently, Marcus kept going despite terrible tragedy and loss. Epictetus pushed thr…lnkd.in/gkQTvnDp

From Today's Daily Stoic: Of course, it’s lovely to take a vacation. It’s lovely to go to cool places. Even on the weekend, it’s lovely to go places and do things we can’t do during the week. But Seneca tells us to be careful. He quotes Lucretius who sa…lnkd.in/gekDvQZR

From Today's Daily Stoic: Sometimes we are so stuck, so in our own heads, so down on our luck that improvement–let alone a full recovery–seems impossible. Our business has been slowing down. We’re not throwing the ball like we used to. Our significant ot…lnkd.in/gBkufrZt

From Today's Daily Stoic: (edited for space) Life may have big challenges in store for us. What’s more certain, as we talked about recently, is the ‘petty hazards of the day.’ We may find ourselves thrust in some crisis–a big political moment or some eme…lnkd.in/ggCtyUW3

From Today's Daily Stoic: It doesn’t matter how important you are. It doesn’t matter how much money you have. It doesn’t matter how used to getting your way you are, or how much you have planned and prepared. A single driver can decide to slow down lane…lnkd.in/gc8Ck4pn

From Today's Daily Stoic: The girl couldn’t have been much older than four or five. It was one of those lazy, boring days and she was bothering her mother. She wanted attention. She wanted to be entertained. But instead of giving her that, Joan Didion’…lnkd.in/g3Nz-9QX
