338 - Q & A: Am I Stoic Enough?

About this episode

In this week's episode, I take some time to answer a few questions:
- What should I do when someone criticizes me and I know they’re right?
- How do I know if I’m actually making progress in my personal growth—or just spinning my wheels?
- What would Marcus Aurelius say about social media?
- What’s one way I secretly avoid discomfort—even though I talk about embracing it?

“Or is it your reputation that's bothering you? But look at how soon we're all forgotten. The abyss of endless time that swallows it all. The emptiness of those applauding hands. The people who praise us; how capricious they are, how arbitrary. And the tiny region it takes place. The whole earth a point in space - and most of it uninhabited.”

—Marcus Aurelius
