We select a passage that runs alongside Jamies story from episode 12 and 13 to look at the importance of our role and transitioning from that moment of not wanting to face the day to thriving as the challenge is overcome. We want to bring you a guide for life! Breaking down the unique wisdom of some of the greatest minds that have ever existed proven by the fact that the teachings of the stoics are still in existence today! But so few of us manage to realise the true meaning and value of many of these great philosophical works within the context of modern society. In a similar approach to the Marcus Aurelius' Meditations for Modern Life podcast, but with the shared thoughts of co-hosts Adam Bates and Jamie Keeling adding the dynamic of two way conversation and their combined experiences through life! For most episode the theme will centre around a different piece of text or quote from a well known Stoic philosopher from those attributed to Socrates through the words of Plato, or to Epicurus, to Seneca or others. The aim is to bring you the guide for life, a life of happiness and fulfilment Become a Patreon and gain access to exclusive content as well as enabling us to dedicate more time to giving you more content! https://www.patreon.com/stoicismformodernlife Update Description
