Episode 57: Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) with SunriseHoodie

You're listening to the Stoic Solutions Podcast - practical wisdom for everyday life. I'm Justin Vacula and this is episode 57 – Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) with SunriseHoodie. Today's special guest, YouTube content creator SunriseHoodie, joins me to talk about MGTOW – men going their own way – parallels and dissimilarities between MGTOW and Stoicism. SunriseHoodie talks of MGTOW as a philosophical approach to life detaching from many parts of modern society while disengaging from romantic relationships, dating, marriage, and having children. He and other MGTOW talk about the downsides of romantic relationships including loss of identity, great risks, money, time, and other resources. He encourages self-actualization and life optimization offering support and advice for men.

I'm creating podcast episodes offering practical wisdom for everyday life -- solutions to modern human concerns -- informed by the ancient philosophical school of Stoicism popularized by thinkers including Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. Improve your quality of life by implementing a strong mental framework informed by Stoic Philosophy! I explore topics such as gratitude; acceptance; overcoming adversity; finding meaning in life; moderation; dealing with change; friendship; loneliness; and anger.
