The “Fellow Trainee” Method of Not Taking Things Personally (Aurelius – Meditations 6:20)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Synopsis: In yesterday’s episode we discussed Epictetus’s method of “using impressions” to change our experience of life. In today’s episode Marcus Aurelius gives us an impressions-based technique for dealing with injuries and insults from our fellow human beings – one which might help us to implement the loftier and more philosophically attuned methods mentioned elsewhere by Aurelius and by the Rambam.Sources: - Aurelius, Meditations 6:20; 2:1- Rambam: Mishneh Torah, Hilchos Deios 7:7----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
