Stoicism Part Two: Remembering Death, Embracing Life

In the second installment of Jeff Krasno’s Stoicism series, we explore three timeless Stoic practices for living with presence, perspective, and purpose. Jeff introduces present moment nostalgia — learning to appreciate the “good old days” while you’re living them — and the discipline of will, a core Stoic teaching on focusing only on what you can control. The episode concludes with a reflection on memento mori, the ancient practice of remembering death as a way to live more fully and intentionally. Whether you’re seeking calm amid chaos or meaning amid uncertainty, these contemplations offer practical tools for cultivating serenity and gratitude in everyday life.
