Season 4; Episode 11 (71) – ON FINDING & KEEPING DISCIPLINE – Stoicism For a Better Life Podcast

One of my favourite things in my newfound life is being wrong. Most of us hate being wrong (come on…be honest…) but we should instead rejoice at the idea. If one can detach from emotions, we can easily see that being wrong immediately provides us with an opportunity to better ourselves or our fortune somehow. Trying to force ourselves to […]

By now we all know about the duality within. As we work to strengthen our real selves (that is, our rational minds/consciousness/spirit/soul/tomato/etc.) we ALSO strengthen our animal minds. So if we don’t pay attention, we may lose the ruling faculty for an extended time…So listen to Nietzsche and be vigilant. Spotify iPhone, Gogle, Anchor, +8 other platforms SFBL YouTube Channel […]
