Stoicism Decoded: Your Guide to Ancient Wisdom in Plain English

The Greek terms are where a lot of people get stuck with Stoicism. This episode is a plain-English guide to the vocabulary that actually matters, so the ideas stop sounding academic and start being usable.I walk through the key Stoic words and what they really mean: arete (excellence of character), apatheia (freedom from being ruled by passion, not apathy), prohairesis (the choice that is always yours), logos, and the difference between the destructive emotions and the healthy feelings the Stoics did want. Along the way I clear up the biggest misreading of all, what indifferent really means, and give you a few simple ways to put each idea to work.New to Stoicism or years into it, this is the episode that turns the jargon into something you can use.Free 7-Day Stoic Challenge: stoicchallenge.coThe Stoic Vault: stoicvault.com
