01. What is Stoicism?

Posted 16 Feb 2021

Podcast guest Peter Daly talks about stoicism

If I asked any random person on the street “what is Stoicism?”, I’m pretty sure many of them would be hard pressed to say more than a sentence or two about it, and I have to include myself in that group, so I had to do a quite a bit of research before talking with today’s guest, Peter Daly, my brother, who has been practising Stoicism for 15 years.

It’s a discussion on the ancient philosophy from Greek and Roman times, which has been in and out of favour over the centuries and now in the 21st century, it has undergone a big revival with modern Stoics applying it as a framework for living in today’s complex and demanding world.

This 30-minute podcast covers the history, the key aspects, the practice and resources for the modern Stoic.
