This is an invited talk given on a new platform, Lighthall (currently in beta). It delves into five key Stoic practices drawn from Epictetus' Enchiridion. These are:
1. Examining Appearances/Impressions
2. Responding to Impediments
3. Redirecting Desire and Aversion
4. Behaving Like A Good Guest
5. Eliminating Envy
For each of these practices we: look at the relevant passage/passages from the Enchiridion; discuss the basic concepts or ideas involved in the practice; point out ways beginners can get mixed up about this; examine examples Epictetus provides; look at some contemporary examples of our own; engage in some Q&A and discussion about that exercise

"Pugnacious" is indeed a very good descriptor for Twitter!
I'm so happy he talked about addiction. I heard one doctor talking about how one might not be able to resist the urge, but one *can* do lots of things that can lessen the urge or render it more tolerable. We *can* seek help. (AA is huge on making phone calls when one gets the urge.) I liked Dr. Sadler's mentioning all the different ways that he can think about the urge. I was able to quit smoking by slowly developing an aversion to it, by constantly focusing on the things I found negative about it. That has not been sufficient in my battle with alcohol, but I have a lot of other things I can do.
This is a topic that we really have to keep coming back to. The way people often frame matters is, I think, rather unhelpful to addicts and those connected with them
12:15 incredibly important advice - thank you for mentioning this - i wish i had come across this advice at the start
This man has such a clear and direct way of describing things to make them easily applicable. (Of course, Epictetus probably makes that easier than some other philosophers!)
Yes, Epictetus is pretty easy to work with - he's quite clear much of the time, and when the translation isn't I just got to the Greek to see what he's saying
Thank you!
You’re welcome
Very good one, greetings from Germany.
Thanks!
Do you have a complete stoic playlist with all lectures?
I do. It’s there at the end of the video. Also super-easy to find in playlists on my channel
On Anger is soooooo good!
Indeed it is!
Hey Gregory, can you please consider making an update to the myth of sisyphus series you did nearly a decade ago?
