  • In today’s episode, I’ll be breaking down three of my favorite quotes from book 5 of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and trying to see how they could be applied to modern life as many of Stoicism's teachings can be. 

    “At the break of day, when you are reluctant to get up, have this thought ready to mind: “I am getting up for a man’s work. Do I still repent it, if I am going out to do what I was born for, the purpose for which I was brought into the world? Or was I created to wrap myself in blankets and keep warm? But this is more pleasant. Were you then born for pleasure—all for feeling, not for action?"

    That is today's quote. Let's break down the Stoic teachings found within it.

  • Discomfort is normal, yet we avoid it at all costs. In today’s episode, we discuss a quote from Daring Greatly by Brene Brown where she talks about normalizing discomfort. I expand on the ideas shared in her book on how the modern educational system is doing a poor job of inspiring innovation and instead breeding fear and shame. If you’re a student or teacher of any kind there ought to be something you can derive from this episode, so stay tuned. How do you perceive the education system to be? What flaws does it have? How can we encourage participation, innovation, and creativity? If you're trying to find out: how to leave your comfort zone, how to be less of a perfectionist, how to have more courage, or how to feel less shame, then Daring Greatly and this episode will be of good help.

  • Should you aim to be mediocre? In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing a quote from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson where he argues for embracing mediocrity. I’ll look at how this ties in with ego, assuming your role in the large, interconnected universe, and much more. Suppose you're looking for lessons on ego. In that case, I draw some of today's episode from Ryan Holiday's international bestseller Ego is the Enemy and see how we can all be mediocre while still seeing the bigger picture.

In today’s episode, I’ll take you through a brief look at the wonderful magic of compounding, how it applies not only in regard to wealth but also to how one of the richest men alive would be virtually unknown had it not been for compounding.

  • Why do goals matter? In today’s episode we’ll take a look at the extreme situations in which goals quite literally kept people alive and how it ties back to ancient Stoic philosophy; the art of staying present and discarding all retrospective thoughts.

Stoicism and Logotherapy share similar viewpoints, so whether you're: trying to find meaning, learning about Stoicism, trying to find how to set goals, how to set effective goals, or how to be more present, this episode and the books discussed within it will provide a great bit of help!

  • Sometimes by choosing prestige we are setting ourselves up to fail. Today we’ll be looking at and summarizing one of the chapters from David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell titled: Caroline Sacks. It’s a story that details the dangers of "The Big Pond" and draws on psychology to teach us valuable lessons in regard to choices in education and career. How, if undertaken incorrectly, these decisions can remove the spark that got us to them in the first place. Stick around if you want to learn all about the big-fish little pond effect, and examine what history and psychological insight tell us about it, and how we should approach it.  If you want to learn how to make better decisions, how to choose your academic path, or how to make good choices in life, this is the episode for you!

  • Listening is extremely difficult. When we converse with others, it's easy to get wrapped up in anything but what the other person is saying. In today’s episode, I’ll be talking about one of the most important pillars of building incredible conversation based on the principles taught in How To Listen With Intention by Patrick King. This mostly unknown book is simple and direct and teaches everything relating to conversation.

Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, specifically how he compares life to visiting the dentist's office and how this ties into facing difficulties, avoidance of issues, and sacrificing long-term happiness for short-term denial.

  • The Stoics were very fond of the idea of reminding themselves that life was short. They insisted that we continually meditate on that idea and come to terms with its albeit scary reality. Today's quote comes from Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and I break it down using some concepts from "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson. Should we fight back against mediocrity? Are we all truly special? Let's attempt to use Stoic philosophy to answer this question.

  • The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson is a #1 New York Times bestseller for a reason. He really does have a counterintuitive approach that highly neglects common "self helpy" advice. In today's episode, I'll be going through chapter 6 of the book: "You're Wrong About Everything", and breaking down its key points; condensing them into a bite-sized episode that you can digest in minutes! In this chapter, Manson talks about identity, how we're always wrong, why we should question ourselves, why we should always avoid certainty, and other topics we often avoid to feel better about ourselves. Manson is the author of other popular books such as Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope, Will by Will Smith, and Models: Attract Women Through Honesty. Being a disruptor in the self-help/ non-fiction world, Manson pushes his ideas in a less conventional fashion, listen to this episode and find out how you can melt yourself and how you can become more resilient.

  • Change is inevitable. In today's episode, we discuss just that as well as how the roman emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius dealt with it. Stoicism can teach us a lot about how universal problems remain unchanging and this is true here as too! Using the example of Netflix's founder Mark Randolph, Malcolm Gladwell's Hush Puppies example from "The Tipping Point" and the analogy of a rip current, I break down what Marcus Aurelius meant with this "Meditations" passage and how Stoicism calls us to embrace change, as going against it breaks the dichotomy of control.

  • Have you noticed those small things that get in your way daily? We all have those small bothers; those which we consider insignificant in retrospect but actively make us miserable the more we have to endure them. In this episode, I draw teachings from "The Almanack of Naval Ravinkant", by Eric Jorgenson, "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, and "What The Dog Saw" by Malcolm Gladwell to try to illustrate the dire importance of removing these small bites of misery and valuing the every-compounding effects that come after they're gone.

  • Throughout Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, a common thread can be followed; death.  Death is a common theme throughout Meditations and throughout Stoicism as a philosophy. Why? Because Stoicism argues that nothing matters except the present moment; that we're too caught up in the past and future to truly live life and in doing so we avoid the most finite, spontaneously assigned resource of time. We often take life for granted, we don't think twice about how there was no guarantee that we'd wake up tomorrow. Through Meditations, this great roman emperor reminds himself that staying grounded is important, that the fountain of life is one that could run out of water at any time.

  • In Daring Greatly, Brene Brown shares her research-backed theories and approaches to vulnerability; showing it in a new, less judgmental light. In this book she also talks about feedback, and how many avoid it because of shame. After all, how can you feel bad about yourself if no one else looks at what you have made? I argue that feedback is found everywhere. To avoid feedback is to avoid good work. If you run a creative business, a podcast, a YouTube channel, or are looking for a way to improve, the only clear answer is feedback. Writers get numerous feedback, and through it, their best work is reached. Why should it be any different for you? Listen to this episode, and you'll see just how embedded into our world feedback really is.
