❤️ Stoicism. My life has transformed into something better across the board. Live by it and you’re life will transform. The 4 virtues, cosmopolitanism, dichotomy of control, these 3 in particular helped me immensely.

Read the "Guide to the Good Life" a few years ago. Mr Irvine always struck me as a philosophy teacher who tried to apply Greek wisdom to his own life, not just teaching it...!

This is great. I have just spent several days ploughing through videos of Krishnamurti, who whilst perhaps being an enlightened being, certainly had no ability to explain or teach. I have learnt more about how to live in ten minutes of stoicism than in hours of tortured Krishnamurti verbosity.

14:40 Dopamine makes us that way. Dopamine is the substance that makes us want to pursue or crave something. And one has to generate this substance if he or she wants to live a healthy life. So there is no escape from that.

12 Point Meditation 1. Truthfully, I am the most radiant creation of Creation's idea. 2. Truthfully, in everything I am accordance with the creational order and with myself. 3. Truthfully, everything turns for me to the best, because I live in the success of the idea of the Creation. 4. Truthfully I know, that there are no resistances against my success, therefore also not in my thoughts and not in my imaginations and also not in my feelings. 5. Truthfully I know, that I can do everything and that success is always meant for me, because it is so. 6. Truthfully I am my destiny's maker and therefore a magnet of the consciousness and psyche, that attracts health, peace, calmness, love, respect, and deference (awe), as well as success and wealth. 7. Truthfully I know, that my thoughts are my power (might) and that thereby I determine everything by myself. 8. Truthfully, my thoughts are my power (might) of the consciousness and of the subconsciousness, and I unite myself in every second with it. 9. Truthfully I am glad and happy and full of love. 10. Truthfully I am one with Creation's consciousness and therefore also with myself. 11. Truthfully, my life and work consist of success, because I know that the most successful is success. 12. Truthfully, my life is fulfillment, because everything fulfills itself in me, because I am success.

I am about to finish reading “Guide to the good Life” book by William and it is an amazing Stoic life style book with practical guidelines and exercises. Probably the best one in that manner. Highly recommended if you are interested.

Mr. Irvine, your book is very helpful and I keep it as my guidebook for life. I love all the principles and I am a practicing Stoic. But I disagree to one thing, you mentioned that no religion including Hinduism explained about desire. I am sorry sir, but either you have been misinformed or you haven't delved deeper enough into Hinduism. Hinduism principles relate very much to stoicism. I would recommend you to read the Bhagavad Gita, and from a reliable source. I don't know if this message will reach you, but I had to write it somewhere as you have a wrong impression.

How curious that Mr. Irvine found his way to Stoicism through Zen Buddhism yet seems to have missed the Buddhist concepts of non-attachment, the false self, and self-imprisonment within the ego.I find this talk to be mired on a superficial level. Perhaps that is tied to Irvine's statement that his Stoic path began with a mid-life crisis at age 50 and the desire to get a publication. I suspect there's more available from Stoicism once the ego has been reconciled. As pertains to Irvine's notion of the "psychological immune system," I think it important to acknowledge that the issue isn't exposure, it's the health and function of the underlying mechanism. Without a healthy immune system, benign pathogens become perilous; without a healthy ego, benign encounters risk shattering the fragile false self. Stoicism is the wrong tool for that underlying challenge.

Marcus and seneca were both top class but imagine Epictetus he was a slave and managed to be a great stoic which i think is more difficult mentally since his tough life

The trichotomy of control is unnecessary and I think misses the point of the dichotomy of control. There are only two sides, what you can control and what you can't. Things you have some control over, like the tennis match example is a perfect example of the dichotomy, it is not in any way a trichotomy. We can only work on ourselves and do our best. The rest is "fate". That's the point. There is no partial control, having influence is you taking care of your own business and accepting whatever outcome. That's the dichotomy. That he misses this makes me wary of getting his book.

William Irvine: It's better not to read comments, because people are hateful and can write anything anonymously. Also William Irvine: We shouldn't be like the bubble boy. Basically stoicism is a modern fad where one cherrypicks what they want to do.

Feedback from real people who you can dialogue with is essential. Arguing with trolls online is a waste of time. Guess what group you're in?
