There Is Only One Person to Listen To

"Like any person in power, any person in the public spotlight, any person striving to be great, Marcus struggled with caring too much about what other people thought of him. Good or bad—as animals, we are designed to think this matters, lest our evolutionary ancestors risk being driven from the tribe. So Marcus worked to remind himself that praise and criticism were really the same thing: a clacking of tongues. Throw away the recognition, throw away the gossip, throw away all grousing from your haters, he said—it’s worthless." Learn more about tuning out the clacking of tongues in todays' Daily Stoic podcast. **** If you enjoyed this week’s podcast, we’d love for you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
