About this Episode:

Circumstances and Emotions: A Perspective from Marcus Aurelius

Max Roeck, in his latest podcast episode explores a quote from Marcus Aurelius which is derived from a play by Oribes. The quote suggests that external situations should not be given the power to stir emotions of anger or frustration, as they are insensitive to our feelings. Max Roeck emphasises that getting worked up on circumstances doesn't impact them, and hence should be avoided. He also encourages listeners to engage with him on social media and join the discussion on this topic.
