Send us a textThere’s a good chance you will encounter someone soon that is a pain in your backside. Maybe it’s someone rude in line at the sandwich shop. Or a coworker talking over you at a meeting, undermining your efforts to make themselves look better in front of the boss. Or maybe someone is wrong on the internet. There is no shortage of frustrating behaviors when it comes to dealing with human beings.In this episode of the Changemakers Field Guide, I explored some ideas from Stoicism that can help us maintain tranquility even when facing difficult people. Whether you’re an average person or the leader of a company or the ruler of an empire, you will encounter some real jerks at times. It pays to have some practical tools to respond well and keep our mental peace.
