Listen "Practical Ways to Find Joy in the Present"
Episode Synopsis
This episode brings haiku and Stoicism into conversation, showing how both traditions teach us to savor fleeting moments while also meeting life with energy and purpose. Bashō’s delicate images remind us to slow down and truly see the world, while Seneca urges us to “hold every hour in your grasp.”And in a surprising twist, modern research reveals that Stoic practice doesn’t dull the spirit—it ignites zest, the vigor that makes life feel vivid again.Together, haiku’s quiet attention and Stoicism’s joyful readiness form a blueprint for living fully in every passing instant.👇 👇 👇📻 FOR MORE STOIC AUDIO CONTENTCheck out one of my latest daily Micro Morning Meditations here on Substack:☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: Run Back Over Your Actionshttps://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-run-back Hosted on Acast.
