Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast,

where each day we read a passage of ancient wisdom

designed to help you in your everyday life.

On Tuesdays, we take a closer look at these stoic ideas,

how we can apply them in our actual lives.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy.

The only experience worth chasing.

There's a lot of things to try to do in your life.

You should feel the ecstasy of falling in love.

You should try to catch the sunrise on one coast

and the sunset on another in the same day.

You should feel the pride of mastery in your chosen line.

You should experience the joy of raising children,

the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat.

Plenty of people who are not stoics

have chased these accomplishments

and known them.

It's part of what makes life livable, fun and wonderful.

But meaningful?
