After the recent assassination attempt of former President Trump and the heightening political divide, it’s important to learn from history and turn to what we can control amidst the chaos. There’s no better time to revisit Ryan Holiday’s conversation with Mike Duncan, author of Storm Before the Storm and podcast host of The History of Rome, to talk about the historical parallels between Roman history and today’s political turmoil. They debate the normalization of political violence and the consequences of ignoring systemic issues, as well as talk about how to use Stoicism to navigate today's political chaos and the need for introspection and corrective action within political systems.📚 Grab copies of Storm Before the Storm and Hero of Two Worlds by Mike Duncan at The Painted Porch: https://www.thepaintedporch.com/🎙️Listen to Mike Duncan’s podcast, The History of RomeConnect with Mike Duncan on X |@MikeDuncan✉️ Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?
