Think of a coworker who takes the credit, a tense family dinner, or a week that won't let up. Each season focuses on one of the four virtues: wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. The episodes are short and use plain words, with no philosophy homework. New episodes come out every Monday. You can read the Journal at thestoicsarmor.com.
