About this episode
In the third installment of Jeff Krasno’s Stoicism series, we explore how ancient wisdom can help us stay grounded in an age of outrage. Jeff unpacks three essential Stoic practices for modern life: cognitive reappraisal — the art of finding space between stimulus and response; the humility to be wrong — and how letting go of the need to be right opens the door to truth; and building your psychological immune system — cultivating resilience through small doses of adversity.
Drawing on the teachings of Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and Viktor Frankl, Jeff shares how these timeless ideas can transform how we perceive events, manage emotions, and move through conflict with calm and clarity. Whether you’re seeking to better regulate your emotions, strengthen your mental resilience, or simply find peace in turbulent times, this episode offers practical tools for living with greater equanimity and freedom.
