Practical Stoicism | 11 Steps To Practice Stoicism

I particularly liked this book as a good resource for daily reminders of the Stoic principles. Here's a short description form the author:
For anyone who has found a philosophical home in Stoicism, but still struggles to integrate the ancient lessons into their day-to-day life, this might be the book for you. Practical Stoicism is a collection of short essays to help bridge the gap between the essential teachings of the great stoic philosophers and the things we must do, in the here and now, to achieve the fulfilment they promised.
Dip into any chapter whenever you need a quick reminder of how to move your philosophy out of your head and into your life."

#Stoicism #Seneca

[l.k.]

I suppose this isn't very stoic, but I found myself irritated and at wits end by the low level quality of videos and bad voices on YouTube and elsewhere. But then all of a sudden, I find your channel, its high quality instructional content, and clear narrating voice. Finally. Thank you!!!

I bought it on audible. I find your narration absolutely captivating. Like Donald Robertson. Both, concerning stoicism, violently capture the mood of the philosophy. Thank you so much for continuing your work. Mood makes or breaks a book. It remains or is lost by the speakers delivery. On this subject, no one is more fitting to do the task. You sir were born to deliver the message of the Stoics. None can move a man's heart, by words, as well as you. Well done.

A rare, precious, and practical video that can actually lift humanity. Thank you.

Sent it to my brother on messenger. Hopefully he's well and so is everyone here. Thanks. I feel blessed.

Mr.Robert Homer, it's always pleasure to hear your voice. You are one of the best between narrators here.

Words of wisdom to follow throughout life, often easier said than done, but every day we strive to do the right thing according to stoicism, the easier it becomes, change the things we can and worry not about the things we have no control of, we all make mistakes, after all we are but human, even if only in flesh, so we struggle to understand what it means to be but human, peace!!

Cling to tooth and nail to this rule: "Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and knowing that fortune behaves as she pleases, doing what is in her powers to do".

Vivimos en un mundo y una época en que todavía no hemos aprendido a hacer pleno uso de nuestras capacidades. Pero en nuestra mano está empezar a aprender el mejor modo de manejar esas emociones que nos ciegan y que nos impiden sentir el tremendo potencial que está disponible en nuestro interior.

Your nuanced take on virtue is refreshing. How would you suggest dealing with modern distractions using Stoic practices?

application to "daily life". In gratitude!

Can you possibly do a video on speech and verbal clarity? You perform these audios masterfully and it would be interesting to learn about having voice clarity and balancing pronunciation.

Amazing work. This guide is needed. Shared with my Stoic Group.

1.Knowing and doing what you know you ought to do, because that is your purpose for the moment, whether you like it or not.

I love you, thank you again for sharing both a wonderful book, and your wonderful voice.

[TheWayoftheSith]

Review your impressions. Say to the impression: Impression is all you are, not the source of the impression. [I'm in control]. If its not in our control, be ready with the reaction (moved here). Then test and access it with your criteria, ask: is this something that is or isn't it in our control, If its not in our control [then] its none of our concern. (later in the book) It cannot touch the you that matters, but your considered [reasoned] response is yours to control.

To add: I'm in the drivers seat, where I have control of my perception. Because I have partial control of my impression and I've had the right action and a response. (later in the book) Because I haven't lost my cool, I'm a better person having been responsive & I admit to the faults which I am not always the best at withholding from me.

(Even later in the book) Pause, assess, then decide. Review your responses so you are even better at being able to draw from them in the correct manner. Review your stoic books, maxims, quotes, basics e.t.c so you are "Pulling the right response with minimal effort."

I’ve shared the video on Twitter! :)

Stoic knowledge was taught to me by great teachers from senior high through high school
That is what is lacking in our USA education
We learn from Plato Socrates Shakespeare and great poets from all over Kafka A s

9:50 - That's a computer programming check suggestion - its code plus syntax. Its about our programming. Deep study is knowing the reasoning well for that topic or suggestion.
17:00 - You can still work for a position for a long time and yet lose it, or not have the position that's best.
