On Those Who Look Down on “Pop” Stoicism and Mishlei (Epictetus – Enchiridion 49,46)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Synopsis: Today’s episode was inspired by a comment someone made on Facebook which derisively referred to Ryan Holiday’s books on Stoicism as “the pop version of Stoic literature.” This comment rubbed me the wrong way, but I couldn’t put my finger on why … until I thought it through by making this episode.   Sources: - Epictetus, Enchiridion (The Handbook) Chapters 49 and 46- Shir ha’Shirim Rabbah 1:1- Radak on Tehilim 119:6----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
