Course overview
Learn and apply the ancient playbook for living well
The philosophy of Stoicism offers a solution to the crises of life. For that reason, millions of people have turned to it to overcome adversity.
By mastering the philosophy, you can apply ancient wisdom day after day – for a more calm, resilient, and virtuous life.
But it's not easy.
Without guidance or a community, it can be difficult to apply the lessons when you need them most. That's why we created this course.
