Manage episode 468396632 series 3519277
Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, The Podcast on Stoicism.
In this enlightening episode of Via Stoica, we delve into the Stoic perspective on expectations and their profound impact on our happiness. Through the wisdom of ancient Stoics like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, discover how our preconceptions shape our experience of reality and learn why transformation, rather than control, leads to true peace.
Explore practical Stoic techniques for becoming aware of your expectations and understanding their root causes. We'll examine how modern Stoics navigate workplace challenges, relationships, and personal goals by transforming their relationship with expectations rather than being imprisoned by them.
Through real-world examples and ancient Stoic practices, you'll learn why expectations often create unnecessary suffering and how acceptance can paradoxically lead to greater achievement and contentment. Discover why the Stoics believed that transforming our expectations is the key to maintaining tranquility in an unpredictable world.
