Practical Stoicism

From Epictetus' slave quarters to Marcus Aurelius' imperial tent, Stoic philosophy was forged in the gap between what happens to us and how we respond. This curriculum teaches you to use the Stoic toolkit — the dichotomy of control, negative visualization, the evening review, the four cardinal virtues — as daily practices for managing stress, making clearer decisions, and building genuine resilience. Explores questions like: What is actually within your control? How do your judgments create your emotional reality? What would a Stoic morning routine look like in your life?
