It is fasciniating how the words of a person who lived and died a long time ago can have such an impact on a "modern" life. Every now and then, i try to make myself suffer when thinking of his words. It's not sufferring as in holding breath for no reason. Its suffering and taking the good, willful path over the quick and easy pleasure. Its as simple as eating something healthier or taking the stairs instead of an elevator. A quick reminder that the suffering is an option that rewards me later in a different way than the immediate pleasure.

I watch this on 2x every day before I go door knock.. SUCH A USEFUL TOOL. Changes come everyday.

funny, coming from an emperor. hollow words

😂*ההיסטוריה של מרקוס אורליוס, *מהו הספר המחשבות לעצמי *להיכנס לדברים של הספר מחשבות לעצמי הכל מושפע על פי הפרשנות של מה שקורה לנו יש לנו הבחירה You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” How easy it is to repel and to wipe away every impression which is troublesome or unsuitable, and immediately to be in all tranquility Your mind will take the shape of what you frequently hold in thought, for the human spirit is colored by such impressions. 3-4 מה שמבדיל אותנו מהחיה הוא המוח שלנו, והיכולת שלנו להשתלט על יצרינו, ולהיות אקטיבים בפעולות שלנו (הבחירה שלנו) 6 8:30 הדעה של אחרים לפעמים יותר חשובה משלנו. ואורליוס יש משפט סביב זה.

If you're going to change the language to English why not remove thy and thou and have it makes sense.

I didn't like the bit about not complaining. Just accept BS and swallow it? Why? So the same can happen again or two others? Fuck that... lots of cheek turning is what turned us into cowards that can't communicate towards consensus or compromise on political issues. If a person never suffers consequences of their decisions/actions/words, then they have no chance to learn a lesson and will continue to harm - why just suck it up? What am I missing?

It's ironic how a successful general and military leader wrote of musings over stoicism and to not give in to anger or ego I suppose having seen of where both extremes can lead us he realised that it wasn't worth it

Uppity imperialist puffery! While there are excellent bits of intelligence inside, a careful in depth study or meditation on these assumptions is not warranted. They are a prescription for perpetual patriarchy, and have led to violence and disunion of species. These meditations contain much talk of reason, charity and brotherly love while limiting those attributes to the few or even The One.

I love this channel so much. Thank you for all your work Robin.

Love and light

Being stoic is admirable however there is something subversive about some of the contemporary interpretations.

Life is the longest thing you'll ever know.

All biblical principles.

Great read!

Can someone tell Joe Rogan Mushashi not take steroid nor was he a dumb donkey yapping nonsense.

"Does he, who is a victim of anxiety, know how to live for himself? Does he even know how to live at all?"

Absolute heat. Thank you for your work

I just came from “Das Kapital.” Feels like a lifetime of political gaslighting to finally claw my way here. It’s all become quite clear now. Mises is the final doorway to me discarding all doubts

But government or the are people are powerless in the face of the 1% true capitalist financiers (too big to fail) who dictate to the manufacturers in order to guide more capital into their international purse

A virtuoso performance, here, as are all your other readings of Seneca. Many thanks for bringing this wisdom to the ears of a modern public (so much in need of wise words and moral teachings)...

This was fantastic. Easier to listen to than to implement in ones own life. But you can feel yourself melting just by attempting it.

❤❤❤

Beyond the masterful presentation of critical information - I felt like I was listening to the original BBC broadcast of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!" I found myself mesmerized and drifting off to various scenes of Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect! I will be relistening and periodically shaking my head briskly whilst doing so, in order to stay concentrated on the educational elements! Great job me mucker!

How did Commodus screw up so badly after having a father like this?

Truly appreciate your videos. Wonderful pace of narration, tone and apt analogies to present-day examples. Thank you so much for bringing us closer to these masterpieces.

Most boring book ever

Who's here after UFC fighter's post fight speech 😂❤

UFC fighter Renato Moicano sent me here. Its a strange world we live in but I'll take it.

Thank you!

Thank you! Let us get Mises out there!

Day 3, I am loving this, I want to follow it for 30 days straight

❤❤

CHAMA 🔥🗿 Money Moicano 💰

From UFC to Ludwig Von Mises , who would have guessed eh

It's like all the laws in America, it's all meaningless. America arbitrarily enforces its laws so for the remainder of my life I will arbitrarily follow those laws. -George W. O'Shea My plates are out of date by four months and I will never pay them unless I'm first paid what I'm rightfully and lawfully owed for my inventions that I sent to the American embassy in Dublin Ireland.. they made them all.. but I'm homeless in Missouri waiting to be paid what I'm owed. It's congress'duty to promote science and technology and I have more inventions.. dumbasses.. Hypocrites. 🇺🇸🏴‍☠️ I'm only homeless because I'm using my "right" to protest. As long as America doesn't pay me, the more hypocritical it looks to those that are aware of my situation. I'm in a parking lot on Hawks Nest.. By delaying it this long, all America has done, is ensure that I leave America quicker. I'll spend my money elsewhere. I donate to charity everywhere but America now. Well done hypocritess. You're all too stupid to come up with everything I've thought up... Enjoy your downfall. 🔮 ⚖️ ♾️ 🎱

Oh wow…! I’ve just finished listening for the first time! What a truly wonderful book!! It speaks to the hearts of any of us now coming from all different backgrounds … So very glad that I will be leaning this book more and make myself understand fully. Your calm voice made the listening time very pleasurable. Thank you so very much!

I am genuinely impressed by epicureanism, its more closer to current scientific worldview. But some principles of stoicism are of immense practical value.

I like how his whole book is basically telling me everything I'm doing wrong. And so far, it is pretty much everything

Ive got a good morning routine.. I wake up without alarm, whenever the hell I feel like it, usually 4:30am sometimes 3:30am sometimes 5:30am... But the first thing I do is 100 situps. I just roll out of bed and go. Ive been doing this for 4 years now without missing a day except when I had covid. The next thing I do is go for a 3-8 mile walk or run while it's still dark and there are no people to distract me. When I get back, I cook some oats drink tea and muddle around checking emails, reading statements, playing guitar, meditating, or journaling as I please. What I do and it works for me, is I keep my expectations of myself super low and meet them regularly, but I stay consistent with my constant but low level challenges. This avoids burnout.

All great humans transcend time and always will. 🧘🏾‍♀️
