Thank you! I'm currently going through a very difficult situation in my country, Venezuela, the pandemic added to the political crisis, stoicism is helping me to have strength.
Thanks for the video. I came to look for further info after hearing about Stoic week. I think these are great ideas. Stoicism and other ancient philosophical approaches have a lot to offer practitioners, in a range of disciplines. Good luck with the projects.
PS, so grateful again, I can't wait for stoic week, going to settle down on some principles before hand. Great overall goal as well! Think big, dream big, action big!
Golas says pain is the discomfort of differences in behaviour of self conscious life systems in proximity to each other. We overcome this by either moving away - domination over - or simply outlasting the other one. This last is Stoicism and we do it whether we know it or not. It is obviously better to understand why and how this happens. I cannot recommend his book "Love & Pain" enough - it has helped me understand the deepest issues of our lives.
One of the big problems with study of philosophy is that it is objective - the separation of the experiencer from the ideas. The very idea for example of "lets try stoicism week" sounds superficial. It would be useful to point out that we are all stoics, we all have to endure physical and emotional pain for the greater good of survival in a world that often does not agree with our desires. Stoicism has value as a part of understanding the problems of self consciousness. See Thaddeus Golas books.
Hi, how are you? I paused the video at a section where you spoke about how you are continuing the project on. If I could point you to this: Google (live.soundstrue/selfacceptance) they had a really nifty way of interviews via with auhors, PhD authors and neuro scientists on discussing self acceptance and worthiness. It could help continue the momentum you have going with the emails and blogs. Very best of luck!
I would not agree that we are all Stoics. There are many ppl who have not developed the ability to handle it when they do not get what they want -- hence robbery, murder, rape, oppression, muggings, suicide, rages, etc.

I would like to see a lecture on Stoic parenting.
