Episode Synopsis

Musonius Rufus is one of the Big Four rock star Stoic philosophers along with Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca.  Yet, he is probably the least known of these four Stoics.   Musonius definitely deserves a place among the Big Four and his wisdom is just as profound as the other three more well known Stoics.  Musonius deserves his day in the sun!!
In this episode, I explore Rufus' views on the benefits of voluntary discomfort and why this practical wisdom remains so important today.
