90 Minutes of Stoic Strength | 36 Short Lessons for When Life Pushes Back

Ninety minutes of short Stoic lessons for hard times: loss, fear, anger, betrayal, setbacks and standing firm when life pushes back. There are 36 chapters, read in a deep, calm voice over dark ambient music. Each one takes a single Stoic idea and shows how it holds up under pressure. There is a short pause with music between chapters, so you can stop and think, or just let it play.
