Stoic Solutions Podcast Episode 61: Ward Farnsworth author of The Practicing Stoic

You are listening to the Stoic Solutions podcast – practical wisdom for everyday life. My name is Justin Vacula and this is episode 61 – Ward Farnsworth, author of The Practicing Stoic.

We talk about the psychological benefits of applying stoicism, thriving in life, and changing bad habits amidst the discussion of its chapters on judgments, externals, perspective, death, desire, emotion and adversity.

Ward Farnsworth is dean of the University of Texas School of Law. He wrote extensively on law, rhetoric and chess. His earlier books include Farnsworth's Classical English Rhetoric and Farnsworth's Classical English Metaphor. His latest book “The Practicing Stoic” was released in June 2018.
