This engaging and entertaining book on the dichotomy of control takes readers on a journey through Stoicism. It introduces the Stoic elevator, which offers deeper insights into Stoic principles. The author hopes the book will inspire readers to embrace Stoicism and become happier versions of themselves. The dichotomy of control is compared to the popularized serenity prayer. The book is doing well, and the author encourages readers to subscribe to their newsletter for additional support and content on the book.
In this episode, I chat with Tim LeBon, cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist, research director for the Modern Stoicism organization, and author of Wise Therapy: Philosophy for Counsellors, Teach Yourself Positive Psychology, and more recently, 365 Ways to be More Stoic, edited by my wife Kasey Pierce.
Topics covered include…
* How Tim first got into philosophical practice and Stoicism
* The relationship between Stoicism and CBT in general
* Stoicism and third-wave CBT — recent advances
* What Tim has learned about Stoicism from his experience as research director with Modern Stoicism
* What's 365 Ways like? How it differs from other Stoicism books
