Episode 3246: Stoic philosophy emphasizes the value of embracing voluntary discomfort to broaden your comfort zone and appreciate life's simpler pleasures. By focusing on reason and hard work, Stoics achieve lasting happiness and fulfillment without relying on fleeting pleasures. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2011/10/02/what-is-stoicism-and-how-can-it-turn-your-life-to-solid-gold/ Quotes to ponder: "By experimenting with voluntary discomfort, we learn to appreciate far more of our life, and can be content with a much simpler and more wholesome one." "Rewarding social interactions are a specialty of the Stoic. They believe that humans are social animals at the core, and thus we must exercise this part of our personality to maintain a balanced happiness." "Either the insult is true, in which case we should be grateful for the insulter for pointing out this area in which we could improve, or it is false, in which case we should pity the insulter for his lack of accurate perception."
