About this episode
This episode explores how the daily practice of Stoicism can transform the way we respond to challenges, drawing on the story of Andrew Overby from Massimo Pigliucci’s How to Be a Stoic.
We look at how Andrew used Stoic principles like the dichotomy of control and reframing adversity to navigate depression and break cycles of negative thinking.
Through a simple step-by-step example, we show how theory, combined with consistent practice, can help anyone build resilience and make meaningful progress toward self-improvement.
