This Is Gonna Hurt - The Podcast Of J. Gordon Duncan

Thanks for watching and listening!Gordon introduces stoicism as a philosophy focused on controlling one's thoughts, actions, and reactions, particularly highlighting Marcus Aurelius' teachings and Ryan Holiday's modern interpretation. He explores how stoicism helped him during his personal recovery and shares a specific quote from Meditations that influenced his perspective on self-love and the importance of focusing on personal goals rather than seeking external validation. Gordon relates these Stoic principles to his experiences in running and business, encouraging listeners to base their sanity on personal efforts rather than external opinions and recommending Ryan Holiday's work for further exploration of Stoicism.Thanks again!
