Ep #307 - The Whistle-Stop Tour of Stoicism - An Interview with podcaster and author, Tanner Campbell
I am honored and excited to have Tanner Campbell on Empowering Chats and tease out the question of, “What is Stoicism?” Which also happens to be the title of the book he co-authored with Kai Whiting.
This year’s overarching theme for Empowering Chats is Soul Growth. And this podcast interview with Tanner I think is a wonderful way to kick off 2025.
To me Tanner’s book is like the “cliff notes” version of stoicism. The book illustrates an easy introduction to stoicism that is understandable, corrects stereotypes and defines it appropriately, rescuing it from the social media calamities circulating on the web.
To me stoicism feels like the cornerstone for humanity.
Stoicism is defined as An ancient Greek philosophy that is also a full and complete life philosophy.
The word stoic has undergone an odd transformation over time. Today, it is used to describe someone who is indifferent to pleasure or pain. In ancient times, however, a Stoic was a member of a philosophical school whose original members gathered in Athens at a painted colonnade — or stoa in Greek. The modern meaning of the word, for many, refers to stoic as cold and inhumane. In reality, Stoicism is a humanistic philosophy designed to help its practitioners find an inner peace that cannot be shaken or influenced by outer events.
The practice of stoicism is not about being right and the other person being wrong. It is a practice of questioning and it requires the individual to take responsibility for their life, their actions and then to look inward for answers.
Tanner also has his own podcast entitled, Practical Stoicism where he prompts his listeners to ask themselves daily questions so as to get the process going of living a stoic life. To listen to his podcast visit: StoicismPod.com
