A Rusticus For The Rest Of Us

Today we’re covering meditation #4 from book #1 of Meditations and in it, we are going to hear why Marcus was thankful to Rusticus. Quintus Junius Rusticus was a Roman teacher and politician. He was probably also a grandson of Arulenus Rusticus, who was a prominent member of the Stoic Opposition. If you’ve not heard of the Stoic Opposition, boy oh boy will you be in for a treat when we get to that fireside chat. Now that you have little background on ol’ Rusticus, let’s jump into the meditation. -- Get rid of ads and support our work : https://link.stoicismpod.com/members Hang out with us in our free listener community: https://link.stoicismpod.com/discord Join our daily Stoic journaling program : https://link.stoicismpod.com/journaling Join our Stoic mentoring community : https://link.stoicismpod.com/path  -- View a list of our sponsors : https://link.stoicismpod.com/sponsors -- Visit our website : https://stoicismpod.com Check out our reading list : https://stoicismpod.com/suggested-reading Read our articles : https://stoicismpod.com/category/articles -- Online copy of Meditations (Long) : https://link.stoicismpod.com/meditations-long Online copy of Meditations (Casaubon) : https://link.stoicismpod.com/meditations-casaubon Online copy of Seneca's Letters : https://link.stoicismpod.com/letters -- Learn more about your ad choices.
