Learn about safe and responsible dentistry for the removal of old, silver fillings
Hear how one of the products common in farming and sprayed on almost everything you eat could be toxic

Commander Divine talks about the practical value of Stoic philosophy Oct 10, 2017

Show notes

Commander Divine has always had an attachment to Marcus Aurelius, though it was only later in life that he realized how influential his teachings would be in laying the groundwork for Unbeatable Mind program. Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor who was a devotee of the Greek philosophy of Stoicism, which is a very practical approach to wisdom and knowledge. He wrote a large set of “Meditations” where he described his learning and knowledge while he was on military campaigns and elsewhere. Mark reads these short pieces of wisdom and explains them as they relate to the modern world. Learn how Stoicism is related to the Unbeatable Mind philosophy and how you can use the Stoic teachings of Marcus Aurelius in everyday life.
