Stoic Freedom | Simple Rules for a Good Life with William Mulligan

  • サマリー

  • In this episode, William dives into a key lesson from The Everyday Stoic, exploring the chapter "I Literally Can’t Do Anything." Inspired by ancient Stoic philosophy, we discuss the nature of chaos, expectations, and how to navigate an unpredictable world with confidence and caution.

    We reflect on Zeno’s analogy of a dog tied to a moving cart—how fate will take us forward, whether we resist or not. Drawing on insights from Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, we explore practical Stoic exercises like premeditatio malorum(preparing for difficulties in advance) to help reduce stress and frustration in everyday life.

    William also shares a personal story from my time at the Shaolin Temple Europe, where Master Shi Heng Yi offered a powerful perspective on why we should never be surprised by the behaviour of strangers. Plus, a simple mindset shift that can help you stay calm when dealing with rude people, unexpected obstacles, and life’s daily frustrations.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the chaos of the modern world, this episode will give you Stoic tools to handle it with resilience.
