Summary
Remarkably, Seneca and Jesus lived nearly parallel lives. More incredible is just how much their teachings overlap. And it’s worth taking some time this Christmas morning to consider those similarities.
The Daily Stoic New Year, New You Challenge is 3 weeks of ALL-NEW, actionable challenges, presented in an email per day, built around the best, most timeless wisdom in Stoic philosophy, to help you create a better life, and a new you in 2025. Why 3 weeks? Because it takes human beings 21 days to build new habits and skills, to create the muscle memory of making beautiful choices each and every day.
