Event Description:
What can ancient philosophy teach us about modern mental health? Join Eryk Jan Grzeszkowiak, Chair of the Scotland Stoics, as he explores how Stoicism, a philosophy grounded in reason and resilience, offers timeless tools for emotional well-being. Discover the relevance of Epictetus, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius in today's complex world, and how living by Stoic virtues can help us flourish, focus, and find inner calm.
