Stoicism, Seneca, Silas, me and you rock! I am always in awe at how an hour or so of content can offer so much insight, change lives, and how philosophy from so long ago can show me the way today. The length of each was a little brief for me, but Silas is gifted in making even the longest lessons seem like seconds, so there’s that, ha. Highly recommend this and anything Silas 🙏🏻💕🌴✨
