Redpill me on his morning routine

>I would even recommend A Manual for Living if you're not up for full-on philosophy.
It is foolish to study a philosophy in part. As I stated in a previous post, if you want to be a Stoic, you ought to study the philosophy fully. Adopting the parts of a philosophy that make you feel "good" is immature and will not lead to a fulfilled life.

morning routines are a meme and reading about various person morning routines isn't gonna do jackshit to help you. Meditating, writing, cold showers, barefoot no shampoo wanking while in zen state for ultimate seamen retention and circulation is fucking retarded. Your morning routine consists of doing basic hygiene, eating and going about your fucking day doing what needs to be done.

Still, better than nothing. Better to try to figure out the dichotomy (sort things into “in my control, out of my control” to reduce stress) then have someone push you into virtue, then Stoic nature, then duties, Stoic psychology, causes and the rest than to not start because it’s too intimidating.

>without actually taking any time to learn about the ethics and physics of the Stoic philosophers
Their ethics and physics are paper thin and bullshit

Plato put it best by classifying a person's spirit into different categories. Some people aren't cut out for it (or cut out for it yet) to go through the work and gain anything by it. In my opinion, it's better to offer multiple routes to piety.

I'm probably getting too old for radicalism, but I'd rather someone internalized 50% of Manual than 5% of Enchiridion.

I think it is better to be a proponent of idealism than the middle road.

Are Enchiridion and Manual not the same thing?

Probably. Idealism tends to blind me, in my experience. Like I said, probably too old or too cynical to really practice it. Things seem they're at too fallen a state to earnestly eschew pragmatism entirely. My own expectation is at one level, but once I start projecting that on to other people it becomes untenable.

I lent my copy to someone, but as I recall my translation separates it into two works. One is a more rigorous philosophical foundation for his ideology while another is a manual derived from those conclusions. I'm a brainlet and cannot read Greek so I don't know if this is how it's usually compiled or not.

I see where you're coming from and it makes sense. I suppose one needs to read the situation you're in before going balls deep into philosophy.

Idealism is definitely the incredible fuel of human endeavor, so don't let it go. Good luck user

To you too, may we live honest lives.

They're both great.

I'm sorry user. but. He has left humanity behind

Is the a complete guide how to become stoic from total plebian then?
Like start with A then read B and after that start reading C and working on that D.

Start with this

Then read:

The Enchiridion by Epictetus
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Then Gaius Musonius Rufus
Then Letters from a Stoic by Seneca

Someone just had their freshman year in college

I agree, except for the shampoo. Ditching it made my hair look better.
