Dealing With Challenging People | Stoic Compassion Meditation
Stoicism gives us the tools to deal with challenging people with peace and poise.
Brittany Polat, author of Journal Like A Stoic, leads a meditation you can use to find calm when dealing with others, even when they don't make it easy. Inspired by the wisdom of Epictetus, the meditation helps us internalize Stoic principles so that we can live better with others.

Dana Gioia on Seneca and The Madness of Hercules
zhlédnutí 365Před 10 měsíci
For this episode, I went to Sonoma County, California to speak with the poet Dana Gioia. Seneca was a brilliant philosopher and statesman, but not many know he was also a world-class playwright. Dana Gioia is changing that. Our conversation focuses on Dana’s translation of Seneca’s The Madness of Hercules, but covers much more.

This meditation is meant to quickly address anxiety by bringing you to the present. True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. - Seneca The word “crisis” comes from the Greek for choice or crossroads.

    This is the first video of yours I heard and I love it. I raised a question about where to find it on your equanimity video, because I lost the video when it moved on to another one. I find this meditation to be so helpful with my virtues of courage and honesty with myself in communicating than to others, rather than not letting my voice be heard out of fear and thus losing my personal integrity. I’m still uncertain how to make a plan and go backwards from my goal. Hoping to learn more. Thank you.

Additionally, I would really like to watch one on courage and finding my voice in the presence of others who have short fuses and don’t listen.
