How long will you wait before you demand the best of yourself? It is a fair question. It is a tough question.

The 21st century has been labeled as “The Age of Anxiety,” “The United States of Stress,” “The World of Worry,” to name just a few of the unflattering descriptors. The implication is that what we are experiencing—political extremism, deep cultural divisions, pandemics, terrorism, and economic turmoil, existential angst to name just a few.

It’s enough to drive anyone to a bottle of whiskey and xanax.

Yet, if we would all slow down for just a minute, there is a solution to so much that is causing the stress level in life to go off the charts. A potential answer that may change your life is a philosophy from the 3rd century BCE—stoicism.

In this episode, we analyze the very simple and practical application of stoicism in our lives to flip the script and change our perspective to focus on the things that we control. If we learn to do this, very real and very substantial life change can happen for you after listening in on this episode, as we march through the genre of wisdom literature.
