What does it mean to be stoic? Many of us assume it means you have a stiff upper lip, or that you suppress your emotions. That's what <a href="https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/profiles/massimo-pigliucci?srsltid=AfmBOorNJDs13K9OMCn-z242DqG_naaPrj7qgcXC9EiZn7ZwHJGa-1eg">Massimo Pigliucci</a> thought — until he started to peruse a book called Meditations. It was written nearly two thousand years ago by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. But Massimo, now a philosopher, says Meditations, and Stoic philosophy more broadly, offer wisdom that continues to speak to our lives. This week, we explore Stoic ideas and what they tell us about a life well lived. Do you have follow-up questions and ideas about stoicism after listening to this episode?
