181: Self Control
The Sunday Stoic - A podcast by Steve Karafit - Sundays
Categories:
Stoics are not unfeeling automatons. But we do try to dial down the effects of negative emotions. The perfect Sage may not feel full blown anger, or lust or anxiety, but we are not sages.
In this episode Seneca tells Lucilius about the need for self control and the importance of not trying to harness negative emotions like the Peripatetics.
