What’s the point of philosophy, and why does it matter to the way we live each day?

In this episode, we explore philosophy as a companion, a practice, and a framework that shapes our choices—whether we notice it or not.

From the challenge of drifting through life on autopilot to the courage of living with clarity, we consider what it means to think deliberately and act with purpose.

This episode explores how the daily practice of Stoicism can transform the way we respond to challenges, drawing on the story of Andrew Overby from Massimo Pigliucci’s How to Be a Stoic.

We look at how Andrew used Stoic principles like the dichotomy of control and reframing adversity to navigate depression and break cycles of negative thinking.

Through a simple step-by-step example, we show how theory, combined with consistent practice, can help anyone build resilience and make meaningful progress toward self-improvement.

In this episode, I look at how Stoicism teaches us not to suppress our emotions but to master our responses to them through mindful assent.

With a practical focus, we examine how the Stoic distinguishes between involuntary impressions and the voluntary judgments that follow.

By learning to pause, reflect, and test our fears, we reclaim control over our minds and protect our inner peace from rumor, fear, and unexamined thoughts.
