We could rise to challenges in life by viewing inevitable adversity as a means to better ourselves, test our resolve and develop effective means to cope rather than engaging in unproductive thoughts or maladaptive coping skills.
What happens when you compare Jordan Peterson's teachings with the ancient wisdom of Stoic philosophers? In this episode of the Stoic Solutions Podcast, Justin Vacula dives into the intriguing parallels and stark differences between the two. While Peterson doesn’t label himself a Stoic, his ideas on self-improvement, enduring hardship, and striving for a better life resonate with Stoic principles.
Yet, there are notable contrasts, especially regarding his views on dominance hierarchies and his contentious remarks about certain groups, such as men going their own way (MGTOW). Vacula also delves into core Stoic virtues like courage, justice, temperance, and wisdom, offering listeners practical advice for self-reflection and personal growth. Whether you're a fan of Jordan Peterson or curious about Stoicism, this episode provides valuable insights into how these philosophies can help you lead a more ordered and resilient life.
