Nancy Sherman on ancient and modern Stoic wisdom

Rob and Massimo talk to Nancy Sherman, author of Stoic Wisdom: Ancient Lessons for Modern Resilience. We touch on the good and the bad of modern Stoicism, what the ancients got right (or not), and the complex relationship between Stoicism and the military.

Thank you so much for this very insightful talk! Resilience and handling of emotions is a hot topic in our days, and - as you showed -, had been even back then, in the time of the Stoics!

Great show, guys, as ever. Perhaps if your guest realized we were already respectful of her learned background, she could better target her conversation to the specifics of stoicism.
