Stoicism

[Throwin Darts]

With all the goings on of this past year I've noticed my mindset slipping from where it should be. That being said, I've jumped back into the works of the stoics the past few days and I've noticed a major shift in my attitude and anxiety levels.

This is interesting. Thanks for bumping this thread.

Plato's republic is super interesting idk if he's a stoic or not

Meditations - Marcus Aurelius.

My uncle gave me a copy when I graduated high school. If I could pick one material thing to save in a house fire itd be on the short list.

Fair enough. I prefer to seek multiple streams of wisdom and use Biblical truth as the measuring stick in which to evaluate them

That describes me to a T! Excellent response.

Apparently Navy SEALS apply it in their training. Dan Crenshaw talks about it in his book.

Im starting a book on Tesla. I reckon he was a practicing (maybe unwittingly?) stoic that impacted every ones modern day to day life.

It's absolutely fascinating to me - I love the thought process. I also enjoy learning and applying to my own life and reality.
