Episode description

The great fortune of Marcus Aurelius' life, he says at one point in Meditations, is not just that he himself has never known serious want, it’s that he’s been lucky enough to be able to help so many people.

Rather than give in to the materialism and selfishness of Cyber Monday, we’re teaming with Feeding America to contribute to something larger than ourselves. Help us reach our goal of feeding THREE MILLION people, every $1 donated is at least 10 meals. Donate at dailystoic.com/feeding

If you live outside the U.S., check out Action Against Hunger—the global humanitarian organization that fights against hunger across nearly 50 countries. Head here to donate.
