In this series, you’ll get an introduction to the practice of Stoicism, an ancient philosophical tradition rooted in the identification and attenuation of negative emotions. Stoicism’s insights into the human mind—originating from philosophers like Seneca and Marcus Aurelius—are very much in line with those of Buddhism. Both schools of thought share the premise that happiness can't just be a matter of simply getting what one wants.

Join William B. Irvine through this engaging series of short talks and meditations that provide an overview of Stoicism and thoughts on how to apply it in modern life.
