Discuss article: Indifference is a power

Details

• What we'll do

Let's discuss the philosophy of Stoicism! Is it true that it promises "lasting transcendence and imperturbable tranquility"? Read this article from Aeon Magazine:
Indifference is a power
https://aeon.co/essays/why-stoicism-is-one-of-the-best-mind-hacks-ever-devised
It's about 2,300 words -- probably a 10-15 minute read -- and it's also available as a 16-minute listen (link on the page).

• What to bring

Just come with a curious mind and be ready to enjoy some intriguing conversation. A notepad might be helpful for capturing thoughts or collecting new "to read" items.

• Important to know

Will this be your first time joining us? Here are a few tips for getting the most out of the discussion:

Read through the article completely to get the big-picture experience. As you go, make notes of interesting ideas, passages, or questions that come up. Some folks print the article, some jot down notes to bring along. You may find it easiest to read once for general content and a second time for deeper-level reflection. You'll be surprised how much you forget in just a day or two, so on the day of the meetup, read over your notes and questions to refresh your memory. You'll enjoy the conversation so much more when your mind is primed.
