Why is understanding stoicism important? It's a philosophy designed to make you more resilient and to know yourself better.
Stoicism can help you develop self-control to overcome destructive emotions. This leads to being more attentive with your surroundings and more rational with your reactions. William Farraiolo lives and breathes this philosophy.
William received his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Oklahoma in 1997. Since then, he has been teaching philosophy as a Professor at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, CA. He is the author of seven books as of this podcast episode. Five titles were released in 2020 - with the first book for 2020 being "A Life Worth Living" (released in January 2020) and the most recent being "The Exile at Home" (released October 26, 2020).
