Next Week: Ancient Philosophy Meets Your Anxiety
Hi everyone,
Just a quick reminder that next Thursday I’m teaching a new live workshop:
“Five Things I’ve Learned from Ancient Wisdom about Coping with Anxiety.”
👉 REGISTER NOW: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Anxiety
📅 Thursday, December 4 — 8pm Eastern
Over the past twenty-five years of studying Stoicism and cognitive-behavioural therapy, I’ve been struck by how similar our anxieties are to those of the ancient philosophers — and how powerful their solutions still are.
Next week’s class will focus on five of the most effective techniques I’ve found for calming the mind during uncertainty:
The View from Above – shrinking anxiety with perspective
Premeditatio Malorum – preparing for setbacks without catastrophizing
Cognitive Distancing – separating from anxious thoughts
Virtue Ethics – anchoring yourself in character, not outcomes
Modelling the Sage – borrowing strength from internal role models
We’re also creating a Stoic Anxiety Cheat-Sheet (infographic) summarizing all five tools. Everyone who registers will get it before the live class.
If you’d like to join me for this session, I’d love to see you there.

Best,
Donald Robertson
