The 3 Limits of Modern Stoicism

I love Stoicism, which is exactly why I want to be honest about where it falls short. In this lesson I lay out three places modern Stoicism tends to go quiet: trauma healing, mindfulness, and ecstatic or peak experiences.My worry is that the modern version leans so hard on resilience and "coping" that it can start to worship rationality over wisdom, which was never the point. The ancients almost certainly had ways of working through this terrain. We have mostly dropped them. This is me thinking out loud about what a fuller practice might include.This episode is sponsored by Podia, the platform I use to host all my Stoic courses and premium offerings.
