Stoicism and Jungian Psychology: A Recipe for Resilience

This Jungian Life Podcast

Stoicism and Jungian psychology are a natural fit. The first invigorates and organizes the reasoning mind, and the second ensouls it.

The amalgam of Stoicism and Jungian Psychology generates a natural resilience. It offers a frame to understand the interplay of reason, emotion, and imagination in service to inner growth. Integrated philosophical reflection empowers us to confront societal crises and develop autonomy through rational self-awareness. Inclusive Stoicism connects personal development to shared human values. The ancient discipline of clear thinking can heal us through narrative coherence, emotional management, and the integration of unconscious material. Combined with imagination, we gain tools to interpret emotions that help us navigate life. From this vantage, the modern epidemic of anxiety is seen as unmet potential in search of purposeful action and the cultivation of virtue as a template for a meaningful life. The ancient stoics explored the concept of the greatest good and found it in the wholesome and generous interconnectedness of individuals and society.

Prepare to discover what shapes the interplay between reason, emotion, and imagination, how practices of self-cultivation foster resilience, adaptability, and a deeper meaning, which virtues and approaches lead to the integration of inner life with collective well-being, whether balancing rationality and emotional insight can support wholeness, why cultivating inner strength and understanding interconnectedness are essential for navigating complexity.
