Heaven Decreed Better: A Stoic Response to Misfortune
Season 1
Episode 189
Published 1 year, 5 months ago
Description
When life feels overwhelming or uncertain, our minds often jump to the worst-case scenario.
In this episode, we explore the Stoic art of "decatastrophizing"—challenging our initial impressions, stepping back from fear-driven thoughts, and learning to respond with clarity and calm.
With guidance from Epictetus and Seneca, we understand how to navigate misfortune not just with acceptance, but with strength, reason, and grace.
