  • Summary

  • Tom and Dorion reveal themselves to be the ultimate Marcus Aurelius stans as they review their conversation with the ever-popular Stoic philosopher. You’ll probably agree our world would be much better off if our leaders had even one iota of Aurelius’ character — and philosophy.

    Topics discussed:

    • Virtue-driven vs. ambition-driven leadership (and, relatedly, a musing on if politicians had garage sales…)
    • What Stoicism and Buddhism have in common
    • The pitfalls of human reasoning
    • A dog’s tale about how to view your enemies, plus the consequences of rage
    • The power of Nature (and how doing what comes naturally can be the most heroic move of all)
    • Why everyone in Cirque du Soleil owes Aurelius a debt of gratitude
