Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast. Designed to help bring those four key stoic virtues: courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom. Into the real world. You're in a hurry. And you don't know why.

It's never slow with us, is it? We're always rushing, rushing to get ready in the morning, rushing on the way to work, rushing through our lunch, zipping through our to-do list. Rushing to grab the kids from school, rushing to finish this phone call. Rushing to get dinner cooked, rushing to an airplane or a train Rushing through a book we're reading, fast forwarding through commercials.

Rushing through a bedtime routine. It seems like we're rushing everywhere all the time. Sometimes it's because there are real deadlines, flights, or getting to a meeting on time, but Even then, w why do we act like it's the most important thing In the world.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.
