Summary: It's often the case that society will tell us to aim at one thing, while philosophy asks us to aim at another (often the opposite). We are told that we should want nicer things, things that we don't currently have. We are told that we should never settle for having less than our neighbour has, and we are marketed to from every direction. Stoicism offers an antidote to this situation, and in this episode, Simon Drew shares some advice from Seneca about learning to appreciate what you currently have.
