Stoicism offers the promise of emotional tranquility. But what does this mean? And should we even want to eliminate our negative emotions?

In this conversation, Michael and Caleb discuss the Stoic account of emotions: what emotions are and how to manage them.

Stoa Conversations is Caleb Ontiveros and Michael Tremblay's podcast on Stoic theory and practice.

Caleb and Michael work together on the Stoa app. Stoa is designed to help you build resilience and focus on what matters. It combines the practical philosophy of Stoicism with modern techniques and meditation.
