Send us a textImagine a bowl, cracked and seemingly useless. Most of us would toss it out. But what if, instead, those cracks were mended with gold, transforming the broken object into something even more beautiful than before? This is the art of kintsugi, a Japanese philosophy that teaches us how to embrace flaws and failures as opportunities for growth and transformation. Today, we’ll explore how this perspective aligns with Stoicism and how it can help us turn failure and loss into resilience and strength.“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” — Ernest HemingwayFind out more at https://stoic.coffeeWatch episodes on YouTube!Find me on linkedIn, instagram, twitter, or threads.Thanks again for listening!

Send us a textHave you ever tried to change someone’s mind, only to find them doubling down on their belief instead? Or maybe you’ve felt your own defenses rise when someone challenges your deeply held views? That’s the backfire effect in action—a cognitive bias where contradictory evidence only strengthens someone’s existing beliefs. Today, we’ll explore how Stoicism can help us recognize and mitigate this bias, both in ourselves and others."A man who is not afraid of the truth need never fear lies."—SenecaFind out more at https://stoic.coffeeWatch episodes on YouTube!Find me on linkedIn, instagram, twitter, or threads.Thanks again for listening!

Send us a textDo you see your emotions as something that get in the way? What if you had no emotions or ignored you emotions, do you think that you would make better choices?

Run in that direction.” — RumiFind out more at https://stoic.coffeeWatch episodes on YouTube!Find me on linkedIn, instagram, twitter, or threads.Thanks again for listening!
