How much of what you read about Stoicism finds its way into your day? In this 16-minute talk, Jon introduces Musonius Rufus, the teacher of Epictetus, and explores his approach to education and character. His comparison of philosophy with medicine brings the teaching back to a practical question: which useful idea do you already understand, and how are you putting it into practice? Choose one idea to work with over the next few days. Return after trying it and consider what your experience adds.
