    Episode 9: Suffering and Stoicism

    Life is full of suffering. Happiness is fleeting. But even with all our modern problems, the Ancients can teach us how to stand firm against the storm. No one in history has understood this more deeply than the Stoics of Greece and Rome. Strength and Wisdom is offered from the hands of Emperors and Commoners alike.
