Про цей епізод

<p>Not everyone thinks Marcus Aurelius was so great. And it’s true, his record is not unblemished: He fought in imperial wars. He didn’t stop the persecution of the Christians. His son was disturbed and unfit to succeed him.</p><p>So can we really call him a “philosopher king?” How great a Stoic was he actually?</p><p>--</p><p>And with today's meditation on the day's Daily Journal excerpt, Ryan talks about us accepting things that are out of our control, that pushing back and questioning the stoics only get us closer to their teachings. &nbsp;<a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/101" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stoicism 101</a>&nbsp;is a 14-day course dedicated to teaching you the tools to live your best life.
