Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio
Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key Stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world. Let them talk. You have work to do. Somebody at work is talking behind your back. Your cousin made a comment about your parenting.
A critic writes something negative about your business. This hurts, feels unfair, it can have real consequences. But you know what? According to Epictetus, you got off easy. If anyone tells you that someone is speaking ill of you, he writes, tell yourself if they really knew me, they'd have said something even worse.
By the way, we're doing a deep dive in Epictetus this month. We'd love to have you join us. We're doing this awesome course. You can get a copy of Epictetus's work and Take this module and then we're going to be doing a live session at the end of it.
