Some Thoughts on Stoic Journalling
In something of a departure for Oneself, I want to mention an activity I have been trying, on and off (as sometimes I feel too busy or otherwise disinclined) since about the beginning of May this year, which is maintaining a daily Stoic-style journal using the books of Ryan Holiday [3] as an example. There might be many reasons for this, but (and this may come as a surprise to some...

Stoic Journal: A Week Without Complaining?
[Mirrored from https://www.minds.com/teacher_andy/blog/stoic-journal-a-week-without-complaining-1532019906063634437] At this point, we arrive at Week XXXI (i.e. Week 31) in Ryan Holiday’s “Stoic Journal”, which (oddly enough) corresponds this time around to a Sunday. Here, we are challenged to have a full week without complaining, but what this really means is to avoid...

Stoic Journal: Can You Hold Your Tongue Today?
What follows is a not-entirely-serious observation which is intended to revisit and perhaps expand slightly on a previous commentary. However, as I approached the end of writing it, I realised that there was an element of “alchemy” in the analogy I was using: from lead to gold, and how we can get there. Many of the points discussed here have been discussed previously;...

Stoic Journal: Looking Back at the Year...
It's been a while since I last wrote anything here, and as we approach the end of this (admittedly incomplete) first year of Stoic journalling, perhaps it is not premature to look back and consider an important omission in my method... or is it an advantage? As a teenager in both the Lower and Upper Sixth Form (in England), which is now over forty years ago (and might elsewhere be referred to...

Why You Should Turn Off Your TV: A Stoic Perspective
Several well-known memes doing the rounds regularly urge us to turn off our TVs. We might mistakenly think that this is because much modern TV pabulum is utter pointless garbage or even outright manipulation, for which reason we should articulate a reasonable philosophical argument as to why it is so desirable. Sadly, events (and, let’s be honest, lack of discipline on my part)...

DANGER! How media lures you into the hypercube!
Let me start by saying that no real research went into this. I was just sitting here listening to another round of screams coming from the TV room while the news was playing in the background. I heard one more MF’er echo throughout the house and it made me wonder how people can, and do, get so emotionally involved in a box full of wires that can’t scream back and why all of these...
