Episode Notes

I am reusing a previous episode I used in the now moribund Stoicism podcast I started, The Dash, which I ran out of steam on. In the interest of preserving what I thought was a worthy explication of aspects of Stoicism. I present this as an excursion.

Applying Stoic values and discipline to the vocation and avocations we practice in life may be the hardest part outside of making a Stoic life a lived lifestyle. I find the management industry is a giant cargo cult that publishes books whose pages number in the hundreds but could simply be a page or two.

Aside from Stoicism, the sole book I can recommend to make you more effective at work is Atomic Habits by James Clear.

The Dash is emblematic of that time on our tombstone where we are in charge of our destiny.

Any other management books? No, if you have them, get rid of them.
