Stress often comes from situations beyond our control—such as preparing for a meeting, waiting for test results, or arguing with a loved one.
But we can control our response to these everyday tensions. One way to do it is through the wisdom and practice of Stoicism.
Stoicism is an ancient pragmatic philosophy that teaches us to step back, gain perspective, and act with intention. My guest Massimo Pigliucci introduces us to the timeless Stoic teachings.
Massimo Pigliucci is the K. D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York. He has published in outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Philosophy Now and The Philosopher's Magazine. He is a fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry and a contributing editor to Skeptical Inquirer. He publishes two blogs: 'Plato's Footnote,' on general philosophy and 'How to Be a Stoic,' on his personal exploration of Stoicism as practical philosophy.
During our discussion, Massimo gives an overview of Stoic philosophy and the three disciplines of Stoicism. He also describes how to apply the principles to everyday life challenges and use them to thrive under pressure.
