First, but if you're caught up us get right to it and continue optimizing your life What is stoicism and how can I turn your life? The solid gold part two by Mr Monti, mustache of Mr Monti, moustached our come moving from the men told her. The physical stoics actually enjoy experimenting with voluntary discomfort. As a contemporary stoic you might

the point of seeing how long you can leave the air conditioning off on a summer day or try hugging bare feet instead of shoes, occasionally to feel the land enforcer feed to adapt to tougher emissions than a moisture waking marina wool, hiking sock. It sounds absurd by modern standard Until you realise that by doing this, you are actually broadening your comfort Even while you eliminate your fear of discomfort thanks to the practice he just her you're, not able to enjoy yourself in a much broader range of temperatures and appreciate the comfort of shoes when you do have them. Meanwhile, a person with the extreme opposite philosophy might become irritated if he ever ass to travel in less than a first class airplane seed or stay in less than five star hotel or drink. Some five hundred dollar per bottle wine by experimenting with voluntary discomfort. We're not appreciate far more of our life and can be content with a mushroom

more and more wholesome one quote the more pleasures a man captures, the more masters you'll have to serve on equal need. Nature, told the stoics what conditions they should to appreciate as humans, since they realize we are all, in fact an integral part of nature in mustache terminology. All of these thoughts relating adapting your comfort level to embrace nature are collectively referred to as bad city, but there's much more to the philosophy than around trying to be happy with what you ve got. So it's believes that the main purpose of our productive energy is to fulfil all of our lives obligations to our best ability and to help our fellow humans. So stoic is actually a hard working person who. Who is the feeling of hard work, even extremely hard work, as it just falls into the voluntary discomfort? Slash bet that category described earlier Rewarding social interactions are a specialty of the stoic. They believe that humans are so

Animals are the core, and thus we must exercise is part of our personality to maintain a balanced happiness, but at the same time it is not rational, have any interest in fame or social status. Since these are lady indulgences rather than sources of true happiness when we encounter in other people. We must deal with them with reason, rather than anger either. The insult is true, in which case we should be grateful for the insult or for pointing out this area in which we could improve, or it is false. Which case we should pity the insult or for his lack of accurate perception, either way and insight. There's nothing to get upset about. In the case of a true where who not only insults us but manages to commit major injustices to us, the best revenges. Way to live and even better life. While refusing to be like that person, I have actually been through a measuring counter with one of these tests and while my initial aims who took over a year to subside, I'm happy,

For that, I am now exactly my revenge more thoroughly each day, the core of all these tricks and techniques. It's a let reason triumph over your reflexive emotions, understanding. Human emotions and motivations as thoroughly as possible. Stoics are able to ban or evolutionary programming and use it for the purpose of a team ridiculous amount of happiness rather than its original purpose, which is to survive and reproduce successfully free, simple or insatiable desire for more of everything is not more A feeling on the part of humans is a natural evolutionary programme, just as simple as a programming that makes even You reason eyebrow when you see an unusually Croatia's and sexy, but ancestors of ours who insatiable and always wanted more mates, more children, more food, more social standing and more security against predators and enemies were, quite simply, the ones who got to produce a large number surviving children, but while insatiable did his

or lead to more children. It does not lead to more happy. In a modern life for happiness, yet a trick yourself in a being happy with the things you ve got last of my own miniature summary of stoicism. I like to point out the difference between pleasure and happiness and alternative philosophy. Called hedonism suggest that to have the best life you simply maximize pleasure. But stoics, reject that since pleasures, just one dimension of true happiness: eating cupcakes, as pleasurable as is sleeping drinking wine and watching tv higher oh pleasures may be had by driving a fancy car for the first few times receiving compliments from important people or millions of people ask for your autograph, but each pleasure very rapidly wears out if over used and the ministers of Scram, desperately higher up the pyramid of early pleasures until you a lot, a money, or else meanwhile

Focusing on our the underlying signal delivered by pleasure. The stoa can make it a much more consistent and tranquil companion in his life in our society as well as those thousands of years ago, the stoics destroy the one who has got it going on in these days, he ends are becoming much richer, as an almost trivial side benefit you just within a part two of the post titled.
