E103 - The UC Playbook: The Art of Stoic Living

The Uncommon Communicator

Ready for a journey back in time to ancient Athens? Today, we're thrilled to continue our enlightening dialogue with Felipe Engineer Manriquez on the philosophy that's shaped his life and many others - Stoicism. We promise you an exploration of this ancient philosophy's roots; its founder Zeno of Sidium, its therapeutic nature, and its profound impact on our lives. We'll delve into its emphasis on ethics and how our thoughts can influence our well-being. Plus, we'll unravel the mystery behind the placebo effect and its connection to Stoic principles.
But we're not stopping there. As we venture deeper, we'll unveil the crucial role Stoicism played in resurrecting a rational approach to psychotherapy in the 20th century. Hear about Swiss psychiatrist Paul Dubois, who masterfully integrated Stoic philosophy into his therapy sessions. We'll share stories of great Stoic thinkers like Epictetus and Seneca, who taught us the importance of living each day like it's our last. And finally, we'll discuss one of Stoicism's most poignant teachings - the acceptance of death. Through the lens of a deeply personal story about the loss of a beloved pet, we're going to ask ourselves a significant question - are we living a life worth repeating? Join us for a transformative exploration of Stoicism.
