Episode Description

Can you stay calm in the storm? Or do you let your emotions cloud your judgment, leading to poor decisions? Today I want to talk about the Stoic concept of ataraxia and how it can help you be more mentally tough.

“Don't hope that events will turn out the way you want, welcome events in whichever way they happen: this is the path to peace.”

— Epictetus, Enchiridion 8
