StoiCast With Max V. EP21 - Week Twenty One - Choose Your Company Well

It can be hard to resist going along with the crowd. Sometimes following the crowd can be fun, as when joining in on the excitement of cheering for the home team in sporting events. Sometimes it can be useful, as you might push yourself harder in an exercise class. But it’s often problematic. Alex considers himself relatively introverted and reserved, but when he hangs out with some of his old friends, he finds himself acting much more aggressively and boisterously than usual. He often insults people, once even narrowly avoiding a fistfight. As you’ll see this week, the Stoics were well aware of others’ ability to influence our own thoughts and behaviors and held fast to the old saying: “You are the company you keep.”
