“What’s the point of having countless books and libraries, whose titles could hardly be read through in a lifetime. The learner is not taught, but burdened by the sheer volume, and it’s better to plant the seeds of a few authors than to be scattered about by many.” – Seneca

In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:

While his achievements in conquering much of the ancient world are awe-inspiring, Alexander the Great’s story also serves as a cautionary example of the perils of unchecked ambition and the constant need for more.

Many of us fall into the same trap as Alexander, constantly seeking the next material possession, conquest or personal achievement, but to what end? When goals are simply based on attaining more, we end up unfulfilled and unsatisfied.

We talk about the importance of focussing on what truly brings us fulfillment on today’s podcast!
