About this listen

Amelia and Jez explore stoicism and its application in modern life. How well do we know ourselves? What is a good life? And what should we focus on? With behavioural change expert and executive coach, Rodrigo Barreto, they learn about the four virtues of stoicism; courage, wisdom, justice, and temperance; and how they can help navigate personal and professional challenges. Rodrigo offers insights on balancing ambition with contentment, the importance of self-knowledge, and challenges conventional notions of success, encouraging listeners to focus on what they can control to find a fresh perspective on purpose and resilience in today's fast-paced world.
