Classical Wisdom Speaks How Stoicism Can Help: Finding a Philosophy for Life
If Seneca said Luck is when preparation meets opportunity... is Resilience when preparation meets struggle?
Even if you aren't suffering pain, loss, or anxiety now... the reality is one day you will, and how you handle it can be greatly influenced by how you prepare for it...
Aka, it's always worthwhile to do the 'work', philosophically speaking that is... 😉
Stoicism can help with health issues like Chronic pain, PTSD and anxiety... it can improve your relationships as well as your home life...and it has useful tactics that stick... whether you learn them when you need them, or when you prepare for the inevitable.
Listen to this fascinating panel bring together the philosophical and the practical on Stoicism: health, home and community.
