Is it possible to be a Stoic in the modern world? William B. Irvine on stoicism and on stoicism and achieving great goals
About this episode
The episode explores the intersection of modern stoicism and personal achievement through a conversation with William B. Irvine.
What is modern stoicism? Being a stoic means that you are happy with everything you have in your life. Is it possible to be a stoic and an achiever in terms of mindset? What if I want to be a stoic but at the same time I set really ambitious goals? Calm and tranquility is a main goal for many people. I can personally tell that stoic techniques can really help to achieve that. But at the same time I know that there is a wild, adventurous, excited part of me that is not that stoic. Can I mix those different worlds? How can I tell that I am living a stoic life? What would be a good evidence for that? A conversation with William B. Irvine about his new book The stoic challenge: a philosopher's guide to becoming tougher, calmer and more resilient.
