This should be mandatory education in school. Thank you, Vox!

[@nonnywinner5039]

Thank you so much for uploading and sharing. Used to think that anger shows strength, until I started noticing that calmness is power.

[@rckli]

I feel the first book gave an vague summary of what anger was and how to fix it, whereas this one gives examples and explanations for the information on the first book, while adding a little more Idk, I feel this book had direct examples, rather than guidance…. It’s as if he saw anger as a broken bone and understood you must pull it into place before trying to heal it - align your broken emotions first before trying to heal. Like a cold splash of water to awaken someone who’s life is in peril What a wonderful book and an excellent reading - thank you, mr stoica :)

Rob you might consider adding this to your summaries playlist

Thanks for this fantastic narration and sharing the marvelous wisdom of Seneca. It would be a grate idea if you could also narrate "The Republic" by Plato.

A valiable lesson on life and how to avoid anger

42:10 vox do you find sections like this actually relevant. from time to time ill run into these ancient attempts at scientific analysis and we now know it really doesnt work that way but how do we reconcile sections in these writing that are completely wrong? is it that it doesn't mater that its wrong? or have you found a different way to interpret that section?

[@VoxStoica]

Well it’s always good to acknowledge that the Stoics weren’t right about everything, doing so keeps us grounded, less ideological and more critical. Seneca’s scientific claims were frequently wrong, but it’s also frequently irrelevant to his argument provided his observation is sound. There’s usually an [observation] followed by a [spurious explanation] eg 42:10: [People have different predispositions to anger and cowardice] because [they contain different amounts of hot and cold]. Today we might say: [People have different predispositions to anger and cowardice] because of [innate personality traits and genetics]. The effect is the same. I feel it’s the observation that people differ in their proclivities to various vices and must take more or less care accordingly which is important.

[@SERGE_Tech]

@@VoxStoica The ancients could have known everything and for times like this I let it slide but especially because like you mentioned the points are still valid. The little explanations you give go a long way. Thank you. Have you found that the logic is wrong in anyway in any of these texts that you upload? The scientific stuff I can let slide but have you found that there is non scientific teachings that are flat out wrong, ethically and morally?

[@pantsenfuego9986]

This material is not scientific analysis. Heat is not only an apt metaphor for anger.. (hot blooded, hot tempered) it’s an easily observed phenomena within the body.

[@bdeckerva]

Also do not overlook the possibility they are describing something energetic, forgotten or ignored by current science. As with Chinese medicine.. Things our science says is wrong.. But their results are more natural and far better for things our science has no answer for. Always leave a healthy amount of unknowing to your conclusions less they become rigid.

[@jasonp.6470]

Well it’s better then seeing a shrink who charges you $250/hr to say, “so what do you think you could have done differently.” You will be far better off in life if you only studied the stoics and buddhists and actually practice the teachings on a daily basis.

But you have to get mad to win a fight and win a fight to get the girl

[@DarkManBeatzUrFace]

Basically use your anger as discipline and self control don't succumb to your anger instead suppress it and embrace virtue anger will give you a weak mind because you not are in control of your emotions men who are in touch with their emotions are feminine and weak it takes alot for a man to forgive his enemy instead of being angry with the enemy give him virtue and love if you wanna defeat the enemy
