Full transcript of The Stoic Sculptor
You are probably using Stoicism completely wrong. Most people think it means burying your emotions and acting like a robot. But Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor, did not suppress his feelings. He felt grief, anger, and crushing stress just like you. He just refused to let those emotions hijack his decisions. He separated what he could control from what he could not. True Stoicism isn't about becoming an emotionless stone. It's about becoming the sculptor.
