It's just full of you know, horrible, obnoxious people sometimes, you know, if you're a stoic, you might think: well, you know, this is a training ground, it's a gymnasium for the mountains, it's, you know, within reasonable bounds, like you know.
Imagine tapping into ancient wisdom to navigate today's digital world. In this episode of the Stoic Solutions Podcast, host Justin Vacula chats with Donald Robertson, a seasoned writer and trainer, about the resurgence of Stoicism and the role of online communities in spreading its teachings. Robertson, known for his expertise in cognitive-behavioural therapy and classical philosophy, shares his thoughts on why Stoicism resonates with so many people today.
