Good Fortune is back! Episode 18: Conflict, is out now.

I’m kicking off 2020 with a new Good Fortune episode. Episode 18: Conflict addresses the radical approach Stoicism recommends for personal conflict. The podcast is available here, and the transcript is available here. This should be the first of many episodes this year.

Upcoming Episodes: The Tablet of Cebes

In the coming weeks, I will begin a three part Good Fortune podcast series based on the Tablet of Cebes. I was first introduced to the Tablet's story through Keith Seddon's wonderful book, Epictetus’ Handbook and the Tablet of Cebes: Guides to Stoic Living. It's my hope that the imagery found in this ancient story will help us picture the Stoic life and live it out more fully.

Good Fortune Episode 14: Self-restraint

After a hiatus, Good Fortune is back!

In Episode 14 I ask and answer the following questions:

• Why does Stoicism advise self-restraint?
• What sort of restraint is advised?
• Must I reign myself in forever, or can I loosen up eventually?
