This week we take a look at the trends in society, and we ask the question: is the west falling? In a rising uproar and fear mongering state of the political sector, it is pised that our society is doomed. However, with a stoic approach to the trends of the west, there are still plenty of reasons to remain optimistic in such tension.

Stoicism doesnât have to be difficult, because it isnât a complex philosophy to understand.
This week, we discuss the simplicity of Stoicism and how society can benefit from its simplicity as a whole. Often, when we deal with social, political, and personal issues we overcomplicate things. We seek to find someone to blame and an enemy to hate rather than taking responsibility for those issues in our life. Stoicism offers a simple to understand antidote to these problems, but one that is difficult to practice.

This week looks a little different. While our episode duration remains the same, we take a more authentic, less structured approach to this weekâs conversation. In this weekâs episode, we discuss how we have equated stoic values to the values of a good person. We do not label ourselves as stoics, but as practitioners of stoic principles. Like everything, stoicism is a practice that is imperfect and can always be improved. Life is about being more than stoic; itâs about embodying stoic values and being more than just a Stoic.

Fast fashion, modern tech gadgets, chasing the newest iPhone or car. The examples are obvious, and they hint that consumerism has gotten the best of humanity. Rather than choosing quality over quantity, hoarding and over-consumption have become mainstream. Tune in this week as we discuss the Stoic approach to a minimalist mindset and practical advice to achieve this lifestyle. We discuss the importance of attributing value to a few important things rather than simply owning items for your own convenience. The Stoic minimalist mindset is about awareness, purpose, and intention. Join us as we explore how to build a foundation of each quality when the world tells you to crave more and more commodities.

There is a common misconception that Stoicism is a philosophy rooted in being devoid of emotion and cold-hearted. In this weekâs episode, tune in as we debunk this myth and instead propel toward the truth about Stoicism: everything stems from love and kindness. As Marcus Aurelius says, âMan is born for deeds of kindness.â This week's episode is built around the teachings of the Stoics that reveal several truths about kindness. We argue that the root of good character itself is kindness, and we also discuss the importance of kindness concerning all four cardinal stoic virtues.
