Self-Love Impairs Judgement

E131

“Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.” – Seneca

In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:

Ego clouds judgement and leads to biased decision making. By involving our most trusted friends in the decision-making process, we benefit from a more well-rounded evaluation of the situation, making it easier to arrive at sound judgments.

We talk about how JFK relied on his closest friend - his brother -  to check his own impulses and avert a nuclear war on today’s podcast.
