Summary
Not long ago we talked about the Stoic view on punctuality. It’s a pretty simple one: Being on time is important. It’s a matter of respect, not just for oneself, but also for others. So what do you think the Stoics would have thought of Oscar Wilde’s intriguing remark that “punctuality is the thief of time?”
Perhaps they would have agreed.

And in today's Ask Daily Stoic, Ryan presents part 4 of an audio series in which he answers student questions at the Q&A portion of his Stoicism 101 seminar. The topics that he covers include writings by some of the less popular Stoics that you should read, why the Stoics persecuted Christianity, his ideas on using mental models to make decisions, and more.
