When Life Gets Tough, Turn to Stoicism
One thing all humans have in common is that whether we like it or not, life gets tough. That’s when we need to be equipped to handle the situation and keep going. And while our mental toolbox requires more than one source/practice/teaching/habit/belief system/etc. so we can adjust to change, there’s one new thing I’ve added to my arsenal lately and it’s been working especially well – Stoicism. In this episode, I share how turning to Stoicism has helped me navigate hardships in life, understand people better, find light in the darkness, and tame my ego. I also talk about developing a Stoic mindset in daily life, and share inspiring examples from some of the most important Stoics in history.
