17 分钟You're listening to episode number 118 of the Feel Good English podcast, how to actually live a better life.
Hello there, Kevin here with another episode of the Feel Good English podcast.
How are you?
Here at Feel Good, I help English learners become fully confident speakers through lessons on life,
personal development, business development, TED Talks.
And today, I'm going to talk about an ancient philosophy called Stoicism, but just a tad.
I'm just going to touch on the topic because after all, I can't teach you something so vast in only 15 minutes,
but the one lesson I am going to teach you is hugely important.
Firstly, a question for you.
Yes, you.
I'm looking right at you.
Have you ever been in line at the grocery store?
And the line just doesn't seem to move at all.
Doesn't that really aggravate you?
Why is that idiot in front of me taking so long?
What a terrible human being.
You know how this frustration can drain your energy and put you in a bad mood?
Wouldn't it just make more sense if you could stay calm and collected in situations like this?
Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson from a book called A Guide to the Good Life,
The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy by William Braxton Irvin Irvine Irvine Irvine.
