Being Better: Stoicism for a World Worth Living In
Details
Join us for a dynamic Stoic critical thinking session with Kai Whiting, author of the new book, “Being Better: Stoicism for a World Worth Living In”. In “Being Better”, Kai and co-author Leonidas Konstantakos apply Stoic principles to contemporary issues such as social justice, climate breakdown, and the excesses of global capitalism. Above all, they show that Stoicism is not an ivory-tower philosophy or a collection of Silicon Valley life hacks, but a vital way of life that helps us live simply, improve our communities, and find peace in a turbulent world.
Please come prepared with any questions you may have for Kai concerning how you can apply Stoicism to specific life/social issues.
Kai Whiting is a researcher and lecturer in environmental sustainability and Stoic philosophy at the Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium. For further information see his website: stoickai.com.
