Listen "Amor Fati and JJ McCarthy (#239, 16 Aug. 2024)"
Episode Synopsis
Rookie NFL Quarterback JJ McCarthy recently suffered a season ending injury, tearing his meniscus in a preseason game.
He responded with two words, "Amor Fati."
This comes straight out of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism.
In this episode, I cover those two words, McCarthy's response to the injury, Victor Frankel's book Man's Search for Meaning, and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
Will JJ McCarthy be a great quarterback? Who knows, but it if he succeeds, it will be because he focuses on what he can control.
Stoicism is a powerful philosophy whose timeless truths can completely transform your life.
