About this listen
In this episode of The Everyday Stoic, William Mulligan is joined by Oxford-educated neuroscientist Dr. Sarah McKay to explore Stoic philosophy through a scientific lens.
Dr. McKay provides her expert opinion on the core principles of Stoicism, examining the four cardinal virtues of wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance from a developmental and neurological perspective. The conversation covers practical Stoic exercises, such as the Dichotomy of Control and the concept of Premeditatio Malorum
In the conversation, they explore the understanding of how these philosophical concepts align with our understanding of the human brain, how virtues may change and develop across our lifespan, and how to apply these ideas to cultivate resilience and live a more examined life.
