I wish I had been exposed to stoic philosophy in school. Might have kept me from wasting a big part of my life drowning in alcohol. 830 days sober today. Better late than never! Thx for the videos!
Congratulations
Awesome I’m nearly 100, amazing how I only just found this way to looking at life
Congratulations on your 830 days of sobriety, @jeffreygallahar4650.
Your journey towards self-improvement is truly inspiring.
It's a powerful testament to the impact of stoic philosophy on leading a more fulfilling life.
How has stoicism helped you navigate the challenges of sobriety and personal growth?
I understand it’s a lot I would have done differently in my life better late than never this old dog 🐩 is going to learn some new tricks Lol 😂 I’m so glad I found about this 👍😊
My 63 years of life experience caused me to come to many of the same conclusions as the Stoics long before I knew what one was. Thank you Pocket Philosopher.
"People are not disturbed by things, but by the views they take of them." - Epictetus
I'm not stressed because I don't have total control. I'm tense because I feel like I have no control. I need to listen to this lesson again and again. It's liberating me from my own false beliefs.

I was sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather &a ciggy;the thought crossed my mind that I'm a stoic person like it's a bad thing, somehow ending up here? Lol I could listen to this daily. I find it reassuring that I'm perfectly imperfect & comfortable being myself. My natural stoicism is an asset not a detriment.
"The happiness of those who want to be popular depends on others; the happiness of those who seek pleasure fluctuates with moods outside their control; but the happiness of the wise grows out of their own free acts." - Marcus Aurelius

People tend to complicate things leading to self-imposed suffering. Stoicism simplifies, it is a travel to enjoy.

Ego death. Set me free. Been crying since I started this video. Soaked like a shower and it won’t stop.
Stoic is the best way
Love your content! Stoicism is by far the go to philosophy for anyone struggling in life and needing help coping with the day to day struggles.
These are my favorite type of lessons! This video was my introduction to Stoicism. I have along way to go with applying these lessons everyday, but it has really helped answer some questions I've had for many years and how I can deal with them. Finding happiness in life is freedom for my mental state. Thank you:)
I'm glad it helped, welcome to the philosophy 🙏
Stoicism reminds me of the advice my Grandpa use to teach me as a kid. The Old School Ways will always outweigh the New School way in terms of Honor, Loyalty, and Respect... Good Vibes Always!!!
Appreciate how much work you put into this video, and youre others aswell. You're channel is what inspired me to start my creation ( nothing on it yet ha) so thank you!
No worries 🙏

thank you so much ! thank you for taking out your time for making these videos. They really help me guide my own thoughts.
If you enjoy topics about mastery and masculinity, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel.
Challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire.
We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit as well.
All the best to you!
Thank you so much. I fall in love with your content and surely it has made a better human.❤
No problem, glad you like it 🙏
Even though suffering, pain is a "amor fatie", due to emotional or physical. (Of, which myself am experiencing).
I do, appreciate your content. For, it reassures me that maybe I am not so crazy at all. Reality is what it is, but let us enjoy
life for what it is...
Excelent!! As a descendant of survivors of a tragedy , This philosophy helps me to understand that i am here because of those évents .
My young partner me this today, i've been through alot, to much to mention, leaving it all behind is better, life is hard right now but he makes it easier each day. I've lost my dad yrs ago, losing mum slowly, dont talk to family as they are toxic and look after myself and him is all that matters, dont have time for people who waste my time anymore is my philosophy now, to much wasted time on the wrong people who took up all of my time with their negativity and inability to manage their own life and thoughts, life's for living not enduring each day.

Well said, my friend. I wish you well in your future life ❤
Thank you for this concise and powerful guide for a more fulfilling and balanced life.
No worries 🙏
I am slowly, steadily learning to live according to Stoic ideas. But it is not easy to shift one's mindset after so many years of being much too kneejerk-reactive about things! Doubly difficult when one is as naturally argumentative as I tend to be. Still... I feel like I'm making progress.
Don't think of how difficult is to change. Just do.
Step by step man 💪
Wow! God Bless you ! Thank you for this Masterclass! I think you should do a Stoic whole weekend masterclass immersion! That would be dope for Those that are very interested is mastering stoicism.

35:05 I honest think free will is like rat in a tunnel, were you are bound by the tunnel but still able to move and do what you want in the tunnel

Beautiful podcast
Thank you, ive been trying to live stoicism and cultivate it in to my life. Your dialogue provided addiitonal meaning and perspective to things i have read before. Thank you also for providing the link to Buddhism, i obsrved that Stoicism has a lot of overlapping perspectives but found that Stoicism provides a very pragmatic / applicable set of principles to live in the real world where knocks and difficulties are experienced.
🙏

Nice one i closed my eyes and listened. I find your explanations very clear and well articulated.
Thanks 👍
when learning trough audio is another kind of music to my ears. the 23th 24th potentialy unnessential amino acids *rantng ops wrong chanel lol
Stoicism: the philosophy that says 'Hey, life, throw all the curveballs you want, I'll just stand here with a raised eyebrow and a sarcastic smirk.' It's like being Tyrion Lannister but without the wine.
Very helpful and insightful. Thank you 🙏
Freewill and determination is important

Hi Guys, thanks a lot for the great work you are doing ! keep going forward, but only something very light which I wanted to mention is that the font which was from Seneca was a little bit difficult to read cause the background and the color of the font were both dark ! thanks a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks mam, good point
3 simple lessons explained in 43 minutes. 🤙 Stoic
‘We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.’ - Seneca
Given Seneca's insight, how can we apply this lesson to reduce unnecessary worry in our lives and focus on what truly matters for a better life?

Has anyone been able to actually not let outside events affect their happiness?? Or am I wasting my time. Where I’m standing right now this seems like a dream
I can never let anything outside of myself control my happiness ☀️
Hi l love cardboard
I am really really struggling with this concept. Trying to break it down to the externals which can often be ugh. And the internal as my place of peace. So hard to do. I get your thinking. Take care my friend in cyberspace. Mary
My best advice would be try to put more emphasis and thought on those things you do have control over in life that can bring you happiness. It becomes kind of like a balancing act, yes things outside of your control will make you unhappy from time to time but don't try to think about said events as much as the good things you might have going on, always try to look a the brighter side of things.
I feel freewill does not really exist, only some choices, one of which you can pick. That is how we are programmed.
Are your videos available in Spanish? There is a huge Spanish speaking world.
Not me feeling super enlightened! Thank you for your research 🙏🏼 ❤️
🙏
Excellent overview and I loved your narration, insight and recommendations. Please please though do not over dub faint music in the background, it’s incredibly distracting and lessened the experience - despite my trying to accept it 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind
@@OrionPhilosophy I actually loved the music in the background.
✌️😎💯🙏😇
Most stress people can handle. It gets bad when your married, children, mortgage, house and your wife starts sleeping around. You know it's going to get difficult for the hard working man. He is going to have trouble sleeping knowing his loss of children will be hard.
🙇🏻♀️🙏
LET ME MAKE IT EASIER.... Love the God and you will be the most happyer in the world...so easy
Unfortunately the voice is not clear and sweet. It vibrates.
Please condense to 10 minutes to increase subscribers.
It's almost like you're using geass on me but in a good way
tip: grey text on grey background = cant read well (first seconds)
nice scratchy white page and logo fade xD
Who better to know sin than a sinner?
Sounds like to me this is threw the eyes of a man that didn’t have financial complications….you are either born rich or poor….happy or sad ….a non rich person will never understand that!
Epictetus was a Stoic philosopher who began studying while he was a slave in ancient Rome. The lessons can be used by the rich and the poor
I much prefer Ryan Holiday
Fortunately he has a lot of great content over on his channel
philosophy is just like fantasy. The fantasy is better than reality
If you enjoy topics about mastery and masculinity, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel.

Have enough FU/GFY $$$, no more need to give a continental to anyone, free as a bird, all the human problems solved !!!!
Really???
Really
You need 42 minutes to explain 3 rules? You're doing something wrong.
You’re simple minded
Thank you for sharing your opinion
You need Jesus.
satan will have to do ;)
Lol
I'll take a little bit of both thank you
Damn I opened my UA-cam to a whole damn documentary, thanks my guy 🙏👍
❤❤❤ Beautiful Video, Ironically I was watching a video on Freemasonry and it brought me here
No worries, glad you enjoyed it
Stoicism=everlasting happiness. I love listening to your videos as I go to bed. 🤍
🙏
Thank you. Yet, for me, I am only virtuous, also, of abstinence. If my emotions are divided, I strongly feel that I do not love any, nor do I wish to. I have, therefore not found commitment or love. Sexuality is something I find I can most happily defer.
So our founding fathers were not stoics
I believe Benjamin Franklin was influenced a lot by Stoicism and Marcus Aurelius
@@OrionPhilosophy What about Washington or Jefferson or the men who took action.
His story is all a lie...
You can't trust anything you've been told
