Finding Joy in the Simple Things: A Stoic Perspective

In this episode of the Jason Wright Show, Jason delves into stoic philosophy, particularly drawing from Seneca's 'Letters from a Stoic.' The discussion centers on the idea that true contentment and happiness come from within, independent of external circumstances.

Jason shares his thoughts on Seneca’s wisdom, using examples from personal experiences and popular culture to illustrate the timeless nature of these teachings.
