In this episode of PodSights, we explore the profound insights of Seneca, the Stoic philosopher, on the challenging emotions of greed and envy. Discover how Seneca viewed greed as an insatiable appetite that distracts us from true fulfillment, and learn why he believed that real happiness stems from appreciating the simple things in life. We delve into the destructive nature of envy and how it can sour relationships and inner peace. By adopting mindfulness and gratitude, we can shift our focus from what we lack to what we have, allowing us to celebrate others' successes and cultivate joy.
