Why Most Things Do Not Matter: Indifferents (Episode 154)

What if the things you obsess over daily don't ultimately matter? The ancient Stoics had a radical idea: most of what we chase - wealth, fame, even health - is neither good nor bad. They called these things "indifferents." In this episode, Caleb reads his short piece on indifferents and adds additional commentary.
