5 Classic Stoic Principles to Live By fo...

Darius Foroux
About this episode

I seriously started practicing Stoicism when I was 28. That’s when things started to change in my life. That was in 2015. Since then, I’ve become happier every year.


9 years after I started living as a Stoic, I can wholeheartedly say that happiness is a muscle that gets stronger the more you train it.


In this episode, I share 5 of the most useful Stoic principles with you. Here’s my favorite, which is based on a quote from Epictetus:


“Our master is anyone who has the power to implement or prevent the things that we want or don’t want.”


Too many of us are slaves to external validation and signaling. The Stoics reminded us to focus inwardly. To be driven by virtues. And to ignore society’s status game.


Your self-worth should be determined by yourself, not by the car you drive, job, or vacation spots you visit.
