What Is The Function of Worry? | How Stoicism Can Help You Get Sober (And Stay Sober)

About this episode

<p>One of the most timeless lines in all of the Stoic writings comes from Epictetus, "What upsets people is not things themselves, but <a href="https://dailystoic.com/the-real-terrible-thing/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">their judgements about these things</a>.”</p><p>It's a powerful idea. And it's made all the more transcendent by the remarkable fact that nearly every other philosophy has come to the exact same conclusion.</p><p>---</p><p>And in today's Daily Stoic video excerpt, Ryan presents clips from interviews in which his guests share applications of Stoic wisdom that have used to get sober and stay that way.
