The Stoic Jew
Take the Short Road (Aurelius – Meditations 4:51)
Show Notes

Synopsis: In this episode – the last chapter in Book 4 of Meditations – I attempted to record WITHOUT extensive preparation in an effort to follow through on the intentions I stated in my recent episode about my struggles with perfectionism. Ironically, the theme of Aurelius’s chapter was consonant with this goal. Let’s hope I succeeded in following his injunction! 

This week's Torah content has been sponsored by R.R. in appreciation for all the growth and insight that she has gained from these shiurim. To that I say, "Thank YOU, R.R., for helping make that possible!"
