What does it mean to live a good life?

The Stoics were the masters of asking the right questions to focus the mind on what's important.

At the year's end, it's a perfect time to reflect on who you've been this year and who you want to be going forward.

We juggle multiple priorities and hectic demands, so it's easy to get lost in the day-to-day. Today's episode will combine Psychology with Stoicism as we ask the most important questions we can of ourselves to help direct our lives in the direction we want them to take.

Topics include:

• Turning obstacles into opportunity


• Overcoming the fears that hold us back


• Simplifying our life


• Walking the walk


• Taking control of our responsibilities.

Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul: Inner peace comes from self-awareness and reflection"
