What this episode is about

The Stoics weren’t a bunch of boring people discussing being serious. They promoted virtues as a way of building your character. In this episode, we introduce the Stoic way of thinking, highlight some positive ideas, and suggest how we too can continue to grow by pursuing virtue and wisdom in our everyday life.
