#178 - The Cardinal Virtues

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/05/19

The cardinal virtues are discussed by many philosophers - justice, wisdom, courage, and temperance - including the Stoics. They are often used to define what a virtuous person is and are referenced as guidance for how one should act. But what do they really mean? Are the english translations good enough? And how can we implement these somewhat generic terms into our everyday life? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#176 - Free Speech

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/05/12

With Elon Musk's recent purchase of Twitter, the age-old freedom of speech debate has awoken yet again. On one end, people claim that we should silence those with offensive and hurtful views. On the other end, the claim is that freedom of speech is required for the functioning of our democracy. However, is free speech an absolute, or should there be a line drawn somewhere? And where, exactly, should that line be drawn? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#175 - Character & Reputation

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/05/10

"Character" is often used in the context of self-improvement and philosophy. Stoicism, for example, is all about developing a good character - virtue. At the same time, it's not uncommon to hear people discuss and prioritize their reputation. If you have a good reputation, more people like you and want to work with you. Why is it, then, that we only speak of character and not reputation? Clearly, reputation has some importance but is it on equal grounds with character? Learn more about your ad

#174 - Chuck Chakrapani: The Stoic Gym

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/05/05

Chuck Chakrapani is the editor for the magazine The Stoic Gym (which I would highly recommend) which is a monthly magazine on Stoicism which focuses on the practical application of the philosophy. Let’s be honest: the ancient Stoic texts aren’t for everyone but the principles of Stoicism absolutely can be, so Chuck through his magazine does a great job of breaking these ideas into a format that you can learn from and apply right away. In this episode, we talk about the starting of the magazine,

#173 - The Problem With Weakness

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/05/03

Strength carries many meanings - there's strength of mind, of body of spirit to name a few. Ancient philosophers would have used a term closer to "fortitude" which means the same thing. There are many reasons why strength is a virtue, but we could also pose the question in a different way: why is being weak a problem? In this episode, I talk about why weakness is a problem, what it causes us to do, and why we should aim for strength. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

#172 - Dark Energy

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/04/28

The term "dark energy" comes off very voodoo-like, but is there a rational way of thinking about such things? The rational part of our brain may think it ridiculous to attach good and evil energy to things, yet how many of us would feel uncomfortable living in a house in which people were murdered? As crazy as it may seem, there's something to "dark energy", but what exactly is it? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#170 - Love

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/04/21

Love is a word that we all know about and probably use regularly, but what does it really mean? Some think of it as the feeling of joy when you're with someone. Others think of it as a passion for their job. Despite having our own definitions of love, it seems that it is a rather difficult thing to do. So what is love in philosophical terms, and how do we apply it to our work, those in our lives, and ourselves? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#169 - Natural Stoics

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/04/19

The term "natural Stoics" gets thrown around a lot, meaning someone who is "naturally Stoic". It's commonly used to describe people who are cool, calm, & collected, but is this what being a Stoic really means? In this episode, I'll be summarising what Stoicism is at its fundamental level as well as defining what the term "natural Stoic" should mean. Learn more about your ad choices.

#167 - Teaching Failure

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/04/12

Human life is set up to make all of us mentors and role models in some way, from parents to bosses to coworkers to basic members of our community! Having someone to look up to is important for development. It's helpful to have something to aim at and virtues to try and live up to. But what about vices? Should we be teaching others about ONLY strength, courage, and success, or also weakness, cowardice, and failure? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/04/07

Human beings are not natural listeners, even though we have 2 ears and 1 mouth to remind us to listen more than we speak! However, like anything else, you can become better with time and practice. But why is listening even important in the first place? Isn't it by speaking that we show others who we are? And how does one even listen properly and get better over time?

#164 - Becoming A True Person

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/03/31

One of the age-old lines of wisdom is "know thyself" or "to thyself be true". These maxims have stuck around for good reason but, like many maxims, it isn't always obvious what they mean or how to implement such wisdom in your daily life.Carl Rogers is a well-known clinical psychologist who talked about becoming a person - what it meant, how to achieve it, and what one could expect afterwards. In this episode, I'll be talking about what Rogers found in his clinical work while also relating it back

#163 - Are We Gods?

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/03/29

Can human beings do whatever they want? Can we just make up our own values or are there objective moral principles that we are forced to contend with? In other words, are we Gods? Some philosophers seemed to think so. Nietzsche famously stated that "God is dead", and although he was far from celebrating this fact, he still believed that we could formulate our own values and that that was the way forward. Was he right or is that just man's ego? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

#161 - Mind Your Intentions

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/03/22

I've often said that intentions are everything, but why? One may think that the action is what ultimately matters, or maybe even the outcome. After all, if someone has bad intentions but it results in a positive outcome isn't that good? Actually... no. Intentions ARE everything, and in this episode I will explain why that is the case.

#160 - Harmony

The Strong Stoic Podcast ·

2022/03/17

Harmony is a word that we don't use very often, but I think we need to use it more. In fact, one could argue that ancient philosophy, especially Stoicism, is all about harmony! What harmony means can be simplified as "fitting in with the world in a beautiful and orderly manner". The Stoics would say to "live according to nature". In this episode, I'll be discussing harmony - what it means, why it's important, and how to live harmoniously. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
