Stoicism is the pursuit of Virtue (Aretê), which was defined by the Ancient Greeks as "the knowledge of how to live excellently," Stoicism is a holistic life philosophy meant to guide us towards the attainment of this knowledge through the development of our character. While many other Stoicism podcasts focus on explaining Ancient Stoicism in an academic or historical context, Practical Stoicism strives to port the ancient wisdom of this 2300-plus-year-old Greek Philosophy into contemporary ...

When life feels overwhelming or uncertain, our minds often jump to the worst-case scenario.

Joost heeft gelezen over Aristo: één van de eerste volgelingen van Zeno (de oprichter van het Stoïcisme). Aristo hield ervan om te wroeten, dwars te liggen, te steken. Zei Zeno A, dan zei Aristo B, en ook met Cleanthes had hij geregeld aan de stok. Maar wat ligt hier eigenlijk onder? Houdt zo'n Aristo ons eigenlijk niet gewoon scherp? En: zou je li…

Growth doesn’t come from always being right. It comes from being willing to ask, “What if I’m wrong?” Most of us never do. They build an identity around being “correct.” They defend their beliefs like a fortress—unwilling to let anything new in. But here’s the irony: If you never question yourself, you never evolve.
