How to be Happier - Stoicism Masterclass

The Ancient Stoic philosophers had solutions for the problems we face today. The founders of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy were influenced by the words of Epictetus, a former slave who became a philosophy lecturer on the streets of Rome over 2,000 years ago. In this course Ali Abdaal and Sam Ahmed, The Stoic Teacher, teach you how to apply Stoic principles to your daily life to live happier, healthier lives.

Sam and Ali talk you through the Five Principles of Stoicism:

(1) The Dichotomy of Control teaches you how to focus on the aspects of a situation within your control.

(2) Pre-Meditating Adversity toughens our minds against future potential adversity.

(3) Voluntary Discomfort takes this to a physical level and guards us against the danger of too much comfort.

(4) The View From Above provides us with perspective - something that is much needed in our modern day.

(5) Finally, Journaling provides us with the tools to reflect effectively on all of the above.

We then move onto five practical applications of the tools you learnt in Phase I. We cover practical applications such as dealing with anger, how to handle criticism and how to have healthy relationships among others.

Throughout the course Sam and Ali share the ways in which Stoicism has applied directly to their lives. This masterclass provides concrete examples you can take away and apply today.
