When I wrote my book on Stoicism in CBT, it was aimed for psychotherapists and academics to read. Adam Smith was hugely into Stoicism as well. And a number of other eminent Scottish academics during the Enlightenment period were big fans of Stoicism. For instance, why isn't CBTS popular as Stoicism on social media? That's a really good point. So it surprises me in a way that Stoicism is big.
In this episode, I answer questions about Stoicism, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and emotional-resilience from Valentin Lehodey, a digital journalism student at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland.
