Now Available: Mindful Stoicism
Announcing my new audio course on the Waking Up app
Last year, I was invited to design an audio course on Stoicism and Mindfulness for Sam Harris’ Waking Up app. I went to the d’Aragon studio in Montreal to record the lessons. I’m delighted to say that part one was published today, with the second part to follow in March. Waking Up have provided a special link so that you can enroll on the course and claim a free 30-day trial if you’re new to the app.
Author and psychotherapist Donald Robertson mixes Stoic philosophy, modern psychology, and vivid historical anecdotes. The potent combination helps us challenge our limiting beliefs, clarify our core values, and find fulfillment in even our most difficult experiences.
“It's not easy to live consistently with wisdom, because our own fears and desires often lead us astray,” he says. But by illuminating today’s best therapeutic practices with the light of ancient Stoic teachings, “we discover a philosophy that allows us to build emotional resilience permanently, by making it an integral part of life.”
