The stoics call for us to be very mindful, and if we're working this job, we're putting in these hours a week and we don't have any free time, we can't do what we want to do.
How do you find happiness in today's chaotic world? Episode 99 of the Stoic Solutions Podcast tackles this head-on. Host Justin Vacula sits down with philosopher Massimo Pigliucci to break down his book, 'A Field Guide to A Happy Life: 53 Brief Lessons for Living'. Pigliucci takes the ancient wisdom of Epictetus' Handbook and makes it relevant for the modern age.
They dive into how Stoicism isn't about being emotionless but about managing life's ups and downs with grace and resilience. You'll hear about the 'four cardinal virtues'—Practical Wisdom, Courage, Justice, and Temperance—and how they can help you become a better, more balanced person. The conversation also touches on how to handle external validation, build meaningful relationships, and stay grounded during tough times.
Whether you're new to Stoicism or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers practical tips and thoughtful insights that you can apply to your daily life.
