Episode description

There are very few people who feel completely understood. Starting from a young age, our parents didn’t fully get us. Or maybe it was our teachers. Maybe there is some part of us apparently beyond the reach of our spouse or our peers. This is painful. It’s lonely. It’s rough.

Epictetus said that there were some things that were up to us and some things that were not.

And in today's Ask Daily Stoic, Ryan answers questions during a Q&A session at the end of the Stoicism 101 course. Topics covered include how we can get to the point of loving the obstacle, the overlap between Stoicism and Existentialism, and more.
