How to adopt a Stoic mindset.

from Library of Philosophy Hosted by MJH

In the bustling streets of ancient Athens, a philosophy emerged that would come to influence some of the greatest minds in history. Stoicism, founded by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC, is not just a set of ideas but a way of life, a practical philosophy aimed at building a deep sense of inner peace and strength. This episode will teach you how to adopt a stoic mindset and be free from mental suffering by changing your mindset. Stoicism takes its name from the Stoa Poikile, or “painted porch,” where Zeno and his followers would meet to discuss their ideas. The Stoics believed that the path to a good life lies in aligning oneself with the natural order of the universe, which they referred to as the Logos. This Logos, they believed, governs the world with wisdom and reason, and humans can attain eudaimonia, or flourishing, by living in harmony with it.
