Stoicism: Not Just For Bros

In this episode of Live Well and Flourish, host Craig Van Slyke challenges the common misconception that Stoicism is only for "bros" or aggressive young men fixated on competition and material success. He presents Stoicism as a philosophy that can benefit anyone seeking to live a flourishing life. Craig explains the three key aspects of Stoicism: the cardinal virtues, core beliefs, and central practices. He emphasizes the importance of living a tranquil life of virtue and reason, and encourages listeners to consider adopting Stoicism as part of their own philosophy of life.
