Today’s article looks at how Stoic philosophy can help us understand our selves, that most complex and elusive of topics. In true Stoic fashion, it’s eminently practical and direct advice.
Read on below for an eye-opening look at what the ancients can teach us about, well, us.

📜 Quote For The Week Ahead
Any act of injustice is an impious act, because universal nature has made rational beings to help one another and benefit one another as they deserve, without ever doing harm, and to transgress against the will of universal nature is plainly to sin against the eldest of the gods and goddesses.
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 9.1
🎙 Latest Podcast Episode
Strong Enough To Ask For Help - In this episode, we explore the life and teachings of Epictetus, the Stoic philosopher born into slavery who found unshakable strength from within.
His story reminds us that while true resilience begins in the mind, Stoicism also embraces the power of connection, encouraging us not just to endure, but to give and receive support as part of a greater whole.
That is a very nice recommendation. Thanks for that!
Nice one, will have to check the new CW piece!
