About this episode

This episode discusses Cicero’s guide to living well and the importance of reason and moderation in decision making.

This episode explores Cicero’s three-part guide to living well: let reason govern impulse, see things as they truly are, and practice moderation. These principles form a practical framework for navigating daily decisions without being carried away by instinct or excess. With Epictetus reinforcing the need to understand before we act, the focus is on building a well-ordered mind step by step. 👇 👇 👇 📻 FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENT Check out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack: ☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: When Something Stands in the Way https://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-when-something Hosted on Acast.
