The Stoic View on Voluntary Suffering (Episode 37)
Manage episode 361619322 series 3462781
Want to become more Stoic? Join us and other Stoics this October: Stoicism Applied by Caleb Ontiveros and Michael Tremblay on Maven
Are you even Stoic if you don't take ice-baths, fast, or regularly underdress?
Michael and I discuss why the Stoics argued for voluntary suffering – but also what they said about how it should be practiced. We then debate whether one should show off and share how we practice voluntary suffering in our own lives.
(03:18) What is Voluntary Suffering?
(07:31) Why You Should Train Your Body
(19:51) Stoic Warnings
(38:59) Summarizing
(41:31) How We Practice Voluntary Suffering
