Description

Synopsis: In today's episode I answer the following question, submitted by a listener: "I get very stressed out when I am late for something, and I would like to stop getting so stressed or get better at calming down. This feels like a stoicism type of thing. Do you have any podcast episodes that talk about this?" If you, too, get stressed out when you're late, try these out and let me know what you think! And if you have strategies of your own, please let me know!Related Rabbi Schneeweiss Content:- That's a Jacket, Not a Bad Cat!- TSJ Interlude - I Got Got By An Impression!- Does Stoicism Promote Catastrophizing?Sources:- Epictetus, Enchiridion (The Handbook), Chapters 1,4,17- Aurelius, Meditations 4:8- Seneca, Letter #13: On Groundless Fears- Koheles 7:20- Mishlei 24:16 ----------This week's Torah learning has been sponsored by Vanessa, the first person who offered to cover the costs of my Zoom account for the year.

My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss. I am, first and foremost, an Orthodox Jew. My primary area of focus is the teachings of Shlomo ha'Melech (King Solomon) in Mishlei (Proverbs) and Koheles (Ecclesiastes). I also consider myself to be a student of the Stoic masters: Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius. Over the past two decades I have been exploring the relationship between Judaism and Stoicism - where they overlap, where they differ, and how they complement each other. This year I started a daily reading of Marcus Aurelius with an aim to explore these questions. I'll read a passage from Aurelius's Meditations and then muse (or meditate aloud) on my thoughts about what he said and what the Torah would have to say. As Seneca taught: "Each day acquire something that will fortify you against poverty, against death, indeed against other misfortunes as well; and after you have run over many thoughts, select one to be thoroughly digested that day" (Letter #2). If this podcast serves that purpose, then it will have been of value.
