Enjoyed this, thanks. For anyone interested, have a look at Jeffrey Rosen’s The Pursuit of Happiness - he demonstrates a Stoic/classical influence right across the Founders.

Great read. Thanks.

I've been slacking a bit recently with my Stoic practice especially regarding self reflection and reviewing events of the day so this has inspired me to get back into it.

I like how you saved the best for last.

Oh, the delicious irony of the photo showing Franklin's statue outside the Trump hotel.
