Summary

The common usage of the adjective “stoic” – the unemotional endurance of hardship – belies the true nature of Stoicism, a brilliant philosophy of personal ethics founded in the 3rd century BC. In this episode, Jeff introduces his new Commune course, Stoic Meditations, and offers a trio of thought experiments to help you embody the Stoic virtues of wisdom, justice, courage and moderation.
