“It’s been a strange year, hasn’t it? Our days have been disrupted. Our lifestyles changed. Plans have been put on pause. Whole projects made impossible. In one sense, this pandemic has been totally unprecedented. But in another sense, isn’t it all too common? We find ourselves laid up with a broken leg. We have to spend two months away from home, cleaning up a mess in the West Coast office. We get posted overseas with little notice. We get laid off. We get exiled, as Seneca did, or we find ourselves locked up, as Stockdale did.”

Ryan discusses the importance of controlling our response, and reads this week’s meditation from The Daily Stoic Journal, on today’s Daily Stoic Podcast.

Great news! The Daily Stoic is $1.99 as an ebook right now (UK discounted too)!
