Minisode Ep.42 - 19 Rules For A Better Life

Send us a text

In this week's minisode, I'm talking about '19 Rules For A Better Life' - at least in the mind of Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, who believed that "our life is what our thoughts make it." I couldn't agree more, Marcus.

Marcus Aurelius is known as one of the biggest proponents of Stoic philosphy, a philosophy practiced for centuries by the likes of  Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theodore Roosevelt, Walt Whitman, Thomas Jefferson and many others.  Stoicism is, among other things, a tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, perseverance, wisdom and peace.

In this episode, I read out a newsletter from another great thinker, Ryan Holiday - author of Ego Is The Enemy and The Obstacle Is The Way - who picks out his favourite of Aurelius' rules for a better life, including 'never be overheard complaining', 'waste no time worrying about other people's opinions', and 'treat success and failure the same.' 

Listen, digest, implement, and you can't fail to see an improvement in your life.
