Topic 2

"Stoic Techniques"

Each week introduces a new Stoic technique or concept, such as the practice of "memento mori" (remembering one's mortality), the reflection on one's circle of control, and exercises in empathy and gratitude. These techniques are aimed at strengthening the reader’s mental and emotional resilience.

This topic covers practical advice on how to incorporate Stoic practices into everyday situations, such as managing stress at work, dealing with interpersonal conflicts, and cultivating contentment with one’s life circumstances.

Topic 4

"Challenges and Solutions"

"A Handbook for New Stoics" acknowledges the difficulties that newcomers may face when trying to adopt a philosophical lifestyle and provides strategies for overcoming these challenges, such as dealing with initial resistance, finding time for reflection, and staying motivated.

"Reflection and Growth"

The authors emphasize the importance of ongoing self-reflection and personal growth. Each exercise is designed not only to teach Stoic principles but also to encourage the reader to think critically about their own beliefs, behaviors, and the effects of their actions on their well-being and that of others.
