Episode 20 Introduction to Minimalist Stoicism

Today we introduce Minimalist Stoicism

The quest for simplicity and meaning has never been more pertinent. My inspiration for writing Minimalist Stoicism: Living a Simple Life with Purpose stems from a deep appreciation for two powerful philosophies—Stoicism and Minimalism. Both have had profound impacts on my life, guiding me towards a path of clarity, intentionality, and tranquility.

Stoicism, an ancient Greek philosophy, teaches us to focus on what we can control, accept what we cannot, and cultivate inner peace through reason and virtue. It offers a timeless reminder that our happiness and well-being are not determined by external circumstances but by our internal responses.

Minimalism, on the other hand, encourages us to strip away the excesses of modern life, prioritize what truly matters, and find joy in simplicity. It is about making room for the essential by letting go of the non-essential.
