My article about the three lessons: http://renaissancehumans.com/?page_id...

I found the solution I needed while snooping through an 1820 year-old journal.

It was a kind of operating system for my brain, and after I'd adopted it, my health and emotional problems more or less sorted themselves out over the course of a few years.

I'm talking about stoicism, which I was accidentally introduced to at age 16 due to my interest in Greco-Roman history and culture.

In today's podcast, I talk about the first three stoic insights I got from reading Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, how they had an immediate impact on me, and why they're still with me more than 16 years later.

I talk about:

1) How messed up 16-year-old me was, and how I ended up finding solutions in the journal of a long-dead Roman emperor

2) Why Marcus was so unusual among ancient monarchs

3) The insight Marcus gave me about "having it all," vs "being disadvantaged."

4) A key stoic idea Marcus keeps repeating about controlling your emotions and staying away from negative thinking.

5) The line from Marcus that got me to stop caring more about what others thought of me than what I thought of myself.
