Thanks for taking the time to set out those times - I'll include them in the description. Something I generally don't have the time to do myself, but that I know others like to have

Amazing breakdown of the content thank you so much . I like the speaker's more regular speech style . I feel like I'm sitting down listening to a narration from a friend . Very personal friendly style .

You are a god. I like this guy's stuff but he's anything but brief. That itself seems stoic.

[@DiegishT]

Great insights as always Dr. Sadler, thanks.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Thanks!

I have been going through over fifty videos of stoicism and found this one to be the most helpful I'd find others often using references to something called stoicon 2017 and a reference to a dialogue afterwords of a guy saying wonder if your crazy or misguided and the speaker says why not both.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Glad you found the video useful

[@antwan1357]

Wow I've started to become a self created fan of stoicism I feel like I'm speaking to a rock star of philosophy.

I understand now.. 3yrs ago i had a massive discontent at work because i felt that my co-worker are bitching with each other and i am feeling scared so i constantly getting into aggressiveness mode coz i have to tell them off each time i heard something not very nice about others co-worker but eventually i realised i couldn't change anyone and i can only control my reaction to it. So i practiced telling my mind 'its not about you but its them, so just be understanding' i keep telling this to myself until i calm myself eventually i just left that area and now im going 3yrs in this new environment and i havent heard any bad talking about others yet😅 but maybe because i decided that if there something i felt that it might lead to something i might not like i will left the conversation immediately 😂 and its work☺️

[@GregoryBSadler]

Good approach!

[@karenlivoti1158]

[@GregoryBSadler]

There is no workbook

You're very welcome!

Thank You! Dr. Sadler. I discovered Stoicism a few months ago and need to learn more of it. Any chance for the next Stoicon to be in NC?

[@GregoryBSadler]

You'd have to have someone organizing it there

[@AdamFiregate]

Thanks, Greg! I found it very useful :)

[@GregoryBSadler]

Certainly

Approval seeking culture - you need approval just for everything sucks. If you have to change jobs that's like wasting your investment ( in terms of time , relations, knowledge).
