Part 5/9:
As the conversation deepens, the speaker reveals a long-standing interest in maintaining both physical and mental health. Citing multiple schools of thought, including Scientology, Judaism, Zen, yoga, and, most recently, Stoicism through Marcus Aurelius, he emphasizes their collective focus on cultivating resilience. He explains how Aurelius’ meditations illustrate the transient nature of life’s criticisms, urging individuals to invest their energy in personal improvement rather than in the opinions of others.
