In this episode of Beyond the Crime, Dr Lars Madsen sits down with philosopher and author Massimo Pigliucci to explore the ancient philosophy of Stoicism and its relevance in today's world. They delve into the origins of Stoicism, its core principles, and how it aligns with modern psychological concepts like the 'Healthy Adult' in schema therapy. Massimo shares his personal journey into Stoicism, the motivations behind his book How to Be a Stoic, and discusses the parallels between the Stoic 'sage' and contemporary ideas of psychological well-being. Whether you're new to Stoicism or looking to deepen your understanding, this conversation offers valuable insights into living a virtuous and balanced life.
