Embracing Moderation: Lessons from Greek and Roman Philosophy

In this video, I explore the concept of living life with moderation versus living at extremes. I share insights from my personal journey, starting with my childhood fascination with Greek mythology and philosophy, and how that evolved into a deeper understanding of moderation, influenced by Greek and Roman thinkers. I discuss the importance of finding balance in various aspects of life, from emotions to habits, and offer practical advice on how to avoid extremes. Join me as I reflect on these lessons and challenge you to find more middle ground in your own life.
