In this episode of Meditations: A Stoic Podcast, we dive into Book VII of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. We explore Stoic ideas on pain, change, and living with purpose. Marcus emphasizes that pain is temporary and should not control us, while reminding us that evil has always existed and change is natural. He encourages living with integrity, regardless of recognition. Listeners are prompted to reflect on their personal experiences with pain, how they’ve overcome challenges, and what these moments have taught them. The episode concludes with a Stoic homework assignment to reflect on growth through hardship.
