Stoic Coffee Break

Welcome to the Stoic Coffee Break Podcast!

Forget everything else. Keep hold of this alone and remember it: Each of us lives only now, this brief instant.  

—Marcus Aurelius

Don’t let fear, low self-esteem and the negative voices hold you back from your true destiny. 

—David Goggins

  • 259 – Enemies
    “There are only two people who can tell you the truth about yourself – an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly.” — Antisthenes Do you have enemies? Are there people that you don’t like? Are there people who don’t like you? May there is someone who makes your life more difficult? Today I want to talk about the importance of having people in our lives that challenge us.
  • 258 – Nothing Endures But Change
    “Nothing endures but change.” — Heraclitus How do you handle change? Does it overwhelm you? Do you try to ignore it or do you embrace it? Today I want to talk about understanding change and how we can use stoicism to help us through some rocky times.
  • 257 – Face Your Fears
    “While we wait for life, life passes.” —Seneca Are you afraid to take risks? Do you continually play it safe? Are you living a life that is comfortable but unchallenging? Today I want to talk about how we can push ourselves to take more risks and live life more fully.
  • 256 – Developing Optimism
    “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” — Marcus Aurelius. Are you a pessimist? Do you see the glass as half empty? Do you often get depressed when you think about the state of the world? Today I want to talk about how stoicism can help make you an optimist.
  • 255 – The WISER Model
    “Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.” — Seneca How well do you manage your emotions? Do you feel like you’re on top of things or do you feel like you let situations get under your skin? Today I want to talk about a model I came across that can be a useful tool for managing your emotions, and handling situations like a stoic.
