132: Stoicism With Dr. Standridge

Dr. Russell Kirk
About this episode

Stoicism has opened my eyes to a new way of thinking. I have been able to apply Stoic principles in my practice and my personal life. For those not familiar with Stoicism, it is a philosophy of personal ethics informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world. Dr. Matthew Standridge is the person who introduced me to this philosophy. And this week, he is my guest! 

Dr. Matthew Standridge is a dentist and host of the podcast, Ketodontist. Through his work, he explores the worlds of low carb and ketogenic diets, primal and paleo lifestyles, and oral and whole-body health. In this episode, we discuss Stoicism, including how to get started, books to read, and how we both apply Stoic principles and techniques in our everyday lives. Stoicism has made a significant impact on my life. I hope you find today’s episode insightful and impactful too. 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Stoicism is an actionable philosophy
  • The practical uses of Stoicism including some applications in the dental office setting
  • Personal mantras can help to snap yourself out of the current situation 
  • Some resources and books for those interested in the practice of Stoicism
  • We ponder the question, “Why do we worry about our legacy?”
