In this episode we discuss a question about navigating the opinions of others.
Stoicism emphasizes that we have control over our own thoughts, judgments, and actions, but not over external events or the opinions of others.
By not letting the opinions of others dictate our emotions or actions, we can achieve a greater sense of inner peace and stability. This allows us to live authentically, according to your own principles, rather than seeking external validation.
While not all criticism is valid, Stoics encourage you to examine it objectively and see if there is any truth or lesson to be learned. If there is, use it to improve yourself, but don't let it undermine your self-worth or confidence.
Today we listen to the words of Jane Austen's Mr Bennet amongst others - Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius.
