In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, my guest is Tanner Campbell (host of the Practical Stoicism podcast). In the conversation, we discuss Tanner’s journey into Stoicism and the adventures of starting a podcast. However, much of the conversation focuses on the ancient concept known as oikeiosis. We talk about understanding one's role in the world through the circles of concern and the importance of caring for oneself and others. Along with the need for humility and the recognition of interconnectedness. Learn more about Practical Stoicism.
Key Takeaways

- Balancing self-interest and the common good requires making contextually appropriate choices.
