Building upon many years of privately shared thoughts on the real benefits of Stoic Philosophy, Liam Milburn eventually published a selection of Stoic passages that had helped him to live well. They were accompanied by some of his own personal reflections. This blog hopes to continue his mission of encouraging the wisdom of Stoicism in the exercise of everyday life. All the reflections are taken from his notes, from late 1992 to early 2017.

Stoic Conversations 26
"Is there a way I can use the Stoic idea of the things in my power, but in a more selfish way? I just don't like this constant stress on caring for other people. Can't I just toss that part out, and still be Stoic?"
"Short answer? No."
"What's the longer answer?"
"Absolutely not."
