Welcome to the Commune podcast. This is Jeff Krasno. You know, I gotta tell you,

you're a real jerk. An utter nincompoop, a dullard, an ignoramus, a cretan, a half-witted

imbecile, a truculent narcissistic, obstreperous, solipsistic blockhead.

Of course, I'm joking. I don't believe any of those things. And as I will expound on in this episode,

I am simply thrusting upon you a stoic practice geared at building psychological resilience. Now many of you may receive

my weekly Sunday commusing article where I address a breadth of issues from the spiritual to the

sociopolitical. And on occasion, I will also record an audio version of these articles and release it as a bonus episode.

So the genesis of this episode was from an essay I wrote a couple weeks ago.

But before I dive in, a humble request.
