Hello and welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Larry, and I am a practicing patent attorney at a large law firm in the Midwest. This blog is meant to be a gathering place for those of us who use Stoicism to guide our lives and for any lawyer who is searching for a philosophy of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I discovered Stoicism in my thirties. One of my favorite podcasts recommended Marcus Aurelius\u2019s Meditations, and once I read that and began examining my life, I was forever changed. Stoicism has allowed me to not only survive but truly thrive. Its virtues – courage, justice, temperance, and wisdom – speak to me in a way that no other philosophy of life could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you join me as I write about how Stoicism has helped me and about how it might help you. Please reach out to stoicesq@stoicesq.com<\/a> with any comments or questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s do philosophy. Let\u2019s do life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
