It's becoming increasingly difficult to be mindful in each moment. With all of the notifications and tweets and messages constantly competing for our attention, it can seem like we are never just in one place at one time doing one thing. But this isn't a new problem, and people like Epictetus spoke about our need to be more present just under 2000 years ago! So in this episode Simon Drew shares that advice, and suggests that we should all aim to become "caretakers" of each moment.

We live in a time when it is easier than ever to become completely engrossed in what other people are doing and saying. We spend hours on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram looking at where other people are, what they're doing, who they're with, and what they're saying. But in comparison to this time that we spend living vicariously through other people, how much time do we spend minding our own business? In this episode Simon Drew shares some inspiring words from the Stoics to encourage you to mind your own business, and to spend more time thinking about who you are, and what you're doing.

It can definitely seem like Stoicism, and philosophy in general, is flooded with men. Most of the Stoics are men, most of the people who are joining the facebook group are men, and many of the most prominent Stoics in today's society are men. There is an overabundance of men studying, practicing, and teaching philosophy, and that’s just the facts. But Musonius Rufus has been empowering women to study and practice philosophy since 25 AD, and in this episode Simon Drew shares some of his words.
