The Stoic Response to Difficult People
Update: 2025-11-14
Description
In this episode, we're tackling a universal problem: dealing with difficult people. You know them—the selfish, the arrogant, the ungrateful. It’s unavoidable. We're breaking down Cordero's Stoic precepts for handling these encounters, and the core philosophy is simple: they can't actually harm your character. You are only harmed if you choose to react with emotion instead of reason. We'll discuss the practical guidance on how to control your own response, avoid letting their faults corrupt your inner state, and why endurance, understanding, and forgiveness are your best line of defense.
