The Courage to Ask, The Courage to Care

Allan John (What Is Stoicism?)
About this episode

This episode explores the quiet courage it takes to ask for help—and the deeper Stoic truth that vulnerability is not weakness but strength.


From Marcus Aurelius’s reminder that “there is no shame in being helped” to Ryan Holiday’s call for bravery in admitting our needs, we see how openness creates stronger bonds and shared resilience.


Woven through is the Stoic commitment to justice, empathy, and fellowship: by leaning on others and extending our hand in turn, we transform isolation into connection.


True strength, as the Stoics remind us, lies in building a world where courage and compassion circulate together.
