Epictetus' 20 Rules for Stoic Social Mastery: Cut the Noise, Claim Your Calm
About this episode
A short, practical guide to staying calm in a world of group-chat drama and constant notifications. This 12-minute guided practice works through Epictetus' twenty social rules from Chapter 33 of the Enchiridion.
You will practise pausing before you react, turning gossip into something useful, handling criticism without your ego getting involved, and choosing the company that actually lifts you. Useful before a high-stakes meeting, a family dinner, or a day off the feeds.
