Defending Ourselves Against Our Enemies

Allan John (What Is Stoicism?)
About this episode

In this episode, we look at what Stoicism has to say about resisting the urge for revenge and reclaiming our inner freedom.


With help from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Diogenes, we examine why retaliation degrades us and how self-mastery is a better path to strength. Instead of reacting impulsively to harm or misfortune, we can learn to respond with integrity, turning adversity into opportunities to build character.
