Dying Daily: "You Decide What it Means" | Dying Every Day

This is Dying Daily.</p><p><br>In today’s episode of Dying Daily, an occasional and much more casual series on the podcast, we sit with a question that most of us already know the answer to but haven’t done anything about: Who (and what) are we taking for granted?</p><p><br>We’ve all been there: stuck in a slow line at the end of a long day, quietly frustrated at everyone and everything in our way. </p><p><br>In his 2005 commencement speech “This Is Water,” David Foster Wallace argued that the irritation isn't the situation—it’s a choice we don't know we're making. This episode looks at Wallace’s idea of the “default setting,” its kinship with Stoic philosophy, and the small, repeatable freedom that hides within an ordinary bad day: “You decide what it means.” [...]</p><p>#stoicism #philosophy #lifelessons</p><p><br>---</p><p> <br> 🖇️ Stay Connected: </p><ul><li>Newsletter: https://perennial.substack.com/subscribe</li><li>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/perennialmeditations/</li><li>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PerennialMeditations</li></ul><p>---<br> <br> 🦉 Additional Resources: </p><ul><li>Perennial Meditations archive: https://perennial.substack.com/archive</li><li>Listen to more podcasts: https://www.perennialleader.com/podcasts</li></ul>

Day 151: The Unlived Life—Marcus Aurelius and Jung on Becoming Whole | Dying Every Day
<p>📮 Want tools for the art of living? Sign up here: https://perennial.substack.com/subscribe</p><p><br></p><p>Welcome back to Dying Every Day. This is Day 151.</p><p><br>The Meditations are usually read as the record of a man who had mastered his philosophy—reminders to himself to stay on the path he had already found. That reading is not wrong. But it is incomplete. </p><p><br>What Marcus does across these pages, again and again, is similar, not necessarily the same, to what Carl Jung would describe eighteen centuries later: looking directly at the parts of himself he would rather not see, naming them, and refusing to let them operate on him from the dark.

Day 150: Stoicism and CBT on Training the Mind | Dying Every Day
<p>📮 Want tools for the art of living? Sign up here: https://perennial.substack.com/subscribe</p><p><br></p><p>Welcome back to Dying Every Day. This is Day 150.</p>“Men are disturbed not by the things that happen, but by the opinions about the things: for example, death is nothing terrible, for if it were, it would have seemed so to Socrates.” — Epictetus, Enchiridion<p>Epictetus is not making a philosophical argument. He is performing one.</p><p><br>He has taken the belief—death is terrible—and subjected it to a test. He has sought evidence and found a counterexample in Socrates, who faced death with equanimity. </p><p><br>Epictetus concluded from examination, not argument alone, that the terror lies in the opinion of death, not death itself.</p><p>This activity is philosophy as a cognitive practice. A man sitting alone, identifying a distorted belief, testing it against evidence, revising it, and recording the revision. Doing it again tomorrow. And the day after.
