These Are Habits to Avoid

Daily Stoic | Wondery
About this episode

"Because of how Stoicism survives to us—mostly in the form of scraps and fragments and letters—we don’t exactly have a list of dos and don’ts. There are no Ten Commandments of Stoicism. No definitive book of what they believed or didn’t. 

But in those scraps and fragments, we do get plenty."

Ryan explains what we know about how the Stoics felt about habits on today's Daily Stoic Podcast.
