#22 - Philip Halton -Stoic Philosophy and Mental Health

This week I've got another chat with Mr @philiphalton discussing stoicism and ancient philosophy for the modern mind. In this podcast, we discuss the stoic philosophy, Roman history, mental health, culture, controlling emotions, facing adversity, toxic masculinity (and why I don't like that term), religion, and how the lives of these ancient men can shape our future. You can expect to learn some of the histories of stoicism, the lives and struggles of the characters (Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus), techniques for curbing overthinking and quick tempers, using traditional values to find meaning and purpose, and lots of inspirational quotes and thoughts. This conversation is a real fire-cracker, so I hope you enjoy it!
