( Overheard. Jean. A stoic. I mean a natural stoic in that she chose self-authoring on her own. Describing to someone else how ‘Self Help’ discourses make her uncomfortable. I would use the word ‘creepy’ because that is what she means. That’s how they make me feel. She recommends that ‘kind of teaching’ for ‘touchy feely women’. But as far as I can tell, it’s touchy feely women who need stoic training the most. Rather than giving them means of only making the problem worse by satisfying market demand for experiential fantasy. )
