We've rounded a corner as we move on to our exploration of the 6th of Marcus Aurelius's top 10 observations about being a wise leader (and a good person, more generally). In this episode, Coach Blake (who admits that, to this point, observation 6 is his favorite) discusses Aurelius's assertion that it's critically important that we always strive to maintain self-control. From St. Augustine to Sigmund Freud, Coach Blake looks back across intellectual history to tie in the wisdom of other great thought-leaders who--like Aurelius--recognized the danger of allowing our passions to control us (rather than being the masters of our passions). Of course, as he has throughout this fun series, Coach Blake uses the perennial wisdom of Aurelius (and others) to deliver important lessons about how to be a better lab sales professional, spouse, parent, and person. Stay in the learning mode with us as we continue on this exciting and illuminating journey.
