In this episode, we delve into the philosophy of living life as a strategic campaign, echoing the thoughts of ancient philosopher Epictetus. The discussion revolves around seeing life as a battlefield, where daily challenges must be met with discipline, courage, and clear-headedness. Drawing on the wisdom of Epictetus and modern thinker Robert Greene, the episode emphasizes the importance of preparedness and mental fortitude to navigate life's battles successfully.
Listen in as we explore the attributes necessary to face life's struggles: discipline, fortitude, courage, clarity of mind, and selflessness versus the traits that lead to defeat such as cowardice, rashness, and selfishness. The episode also touches on the importance of being gentle with oneself, maintaining practices that keep us grounded, and staying prepared for whatever life throws at us. Conclude your week with insight into how to face your personal battles and emerge victorious.
