This is a YouTube video titled "The Equanimity Game" created on March 30, 2011, featuring Brian Johnson discussing a philosophical concept inspired by Marcus Aurelius about maintaining equanimity and self-control in challenging situations.
Hi, this is Brian with another mini chapter from A Philosopher's Notes. This one's called the Equanimity Game. Marcus Aurelius, the 2nd century Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher. You might know him from his cameo in the beginning of the Gladiator tells us, when force of circumstance upsets your equanimity, lose no time in recovering your self control and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it. End quote. That's strong translation. When you find yourself off balance and life has kicked you in the butt, see how fast you can get back in balance. The more you practice this, the better you'll get. Absolutely love Marcus Aurelius and love this big idea. So let's play the Equanimity Game more today. Hope you dug it. Look forward to sharing more with you soon. In the meantime, have an awesome day.
