We live once and therefore live one lifetime. You can try and extend your life through healthy lifestyle choices. But when we say “healthy lifestyle choices” we tend to only think in the physical realm (exercise, eat well, drink plenty of water, etc). We forget about the spiritual (mental) part of it. Not only can we get live multiple lifetimes […]

Our school delineates steps and tools to attain peace of mind. OK. Can we just follow the steps then to attain peace of mind within the day? Is Stoicism a script to be followed and applied once with results for perpetuity? We all know by now, the answer is (unfortunately) no. Look we know what to do, but we are […]
You have ideas, thoughts and opinions. And when you decide on an opinion, you don’t come to it lightly. You evaluate, consider and mull over your options (hopefully) before you come to a conclusion on what your opinions are.

Wow! Here is it! As a sneak peak treat, I just released episode 1 of the current season (S03E01). Enjoy! Seneca say, Prokopton do.

Some are physical (e.g. you flinch when something is thrown at you without thinking about it) and others are psychological (e.g. emotions). Emotions are precoded in our genes and have helped our ancestors survive. But in our modern-day and age they are outdated. We […]
Being wrong is the BEST! I know, I know, as a society we hate to admit we are wrong. This is no surprise given that we are pitted against one another and goated to outdo the competition (i.e. our fellow human beings). But in reality, we are always wrong. And being wrong is the best because it gives us an […]
We are social animals with a capacity for reason. If virtue is working towards the betterment of humanity, then building relationships with our fellow cosmopolitans becomes a necessity.
