About this episode
Today’s ramble from Jeff is an excavation of Stoicism inspired by his family's unfortunate Parcheesi and chocolate habits. Learn about this ancient philosophy's three core disciplines (perception, action, and will) as well as its four virtues (wisdom, justice, courage, and moderation).
