Summary

Apparently this episode got uploaded only in part. I'm sorry it took me nearly a month to realize it (been busy with the new baby), but this is the full episode. Thanks for letting me know and for being patient. In today's episode of "Practical Stoicism," I tackle the deeply personal and often challenging topic of improving self-esteem. At its core, low self-esteem is a lack of self-approval, a revelation that can evoke a powerful emotional response in many of us. As we delve into this subject, I guide you through an introspective journey, starting with the acknowledgment of our self-disapproval and moving towards understanding and eventually overcoming these feelings. By differentiating the aspects of ourselves that we disapprove of for our own reasons versus those influenced by external expectations, we embark on a path to genuine self-acceptance. This episode not only seeks to deepen your understanding of self-esteem from a Stoic perspective but also to provide practical steps towards cultivating a healthier relationship with yourself. -- Become a Patron: https://stoicismpod.com/members Join the Secret Society of Stoics: https://secretsocietyofstoics.com Download Stoicism260: https://stoicismpod.com/app Subscribe to the newsletter: https://practicalstoicism.net/subscribe Pre-order my book: https://stoicismpod.com/book Plant some trees: https://stoicismpod.com/trees Podcast Artwork by Randy Johnson: https://originalrandy.com Umberto Eco's "On Ugliness": https://amzn.eu/d/7ASfkXw Learn more about your ad choices.
