Stoic Superhero #1: James Stockdale & Realistic Optimism

In a new series, I will be giving short lessons on my favorite "Stoic superheroes," both ancient and modern. We will begin by talking about James Stockdale and the Stockdale Paradox. If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and share it with a friend who might benefit from listening.

I believe I heard James Stockdale speak back when I worked for the American Red Cross and he (or someone with an extraordinarily similar set of experiences) addressed our national convention. I was truly inspired by the stalwart bravery he described and his determination to not be swayed from hope! Definitely deserving of the designation of Superhero!
Thanks for the talk, Jon. I’ll look forward to the rest of the series!
