297 - From Socrates to Seneca: The Timeless Power of a Good Question
Send us a Text Message.
Do you ask questions? And what I mean by that is, do you go into conversation or arguments thinking you already know everything? Today I want to talk about the importance of staying curious and how to ask useful questions.

296 - How to Handle Frustration
Send us a Text Message.
This week'e episode is a bit different. Usually I write up my episodes so I dig deep and give you something really helpful. This week, it's just me and the mic talking about how sometimes people act in ways that are frustrating. They lie, cheat, even steal from you. I talk about how I'm dealing with that in my life at the moment and how I'm using Stoicism to act with integrity, and not let someone else control how I behave, or how I feel.

Relatable and Actionable
I’ve followed stoicism a long time and you piece together the things I’ve learned in a way that’s applicable to anyone’s life and even to a nobody like me. Getting my chores done has been easier (and even fun) with you on the background. Love from Philippines
