Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key Stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world. Ask yourself for peace, and you'll find it at your feet. All you want is some quiet. All you want is some peace. All you want is some calm.

More than one it. You need it. You need it for your sanity, for your survival. So you fantasize, as we all do, as Marx Realis did in 4 3 and Meditations. Fantasize about getting away from it all, about travel, about the beach, about the country, about the mountains.

And look, you may well find some quiet and space and calm there. but you should know that you can find it much closer to home too. As one of my favorite songs goes. A wrestled by sea. A loneliness and me
