Why the Stoics Never Needed Willpower

Watch the full video of this episode here.--You've quit every hard goal for the same reason — and it's not lack of willpower.The Stoics figured this out 2,000 years ago.

In this video I walk through the Stoic framework of virtue, vice, and the "indifferents" — and the one question from Epictetus that replaced willpower in my own life, including the 12-pound cut I'm currently on.You'll learn:- Why discipline is a finite resource and willpower always loses- The Stoic distinction between good, bad, and indifferent- The single question that reframes hunger, hard conversations, and difficult training- How to turn discomfort into material for character instead of an enemy to defeat- The preferred indifferents caveat — why the Stoics weren't masochists
