Once you understand that there is that gap and that your goal in life is to fill the gap so that you align your actual behavior with what is in your best interest as well as the stoics would say, in the interest of humanity in general, then that's it.
Ever feel like life’s constant demands are pulling you in every direction? In this engaging episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Massimo Pigliucci, a philosophy professor at the City College of New York and an expert on Stoicism. They dive into how this ancient philosophy can offer practical tools for a more fulfilling life.
Massimo shares insights from his book, *A Field Guide to a Happy Life: 53 Brief Lessons for Living*, focusing on how Stoic principles like wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance can help us navigate modern challenges. The conversation touches on the Stoic idea of the dichotomy of control, which encourages us to focus on what we can control and accept what we cannot.
You'll also hear about how Stoicism has influenced various philosophies and religions throughout history, including its surprising impact on Christian monastic practices. Whether you're new to Stoicism or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers valuable perspectives on living a happier, more balanced life.
