Distinguished Scholar Series: Kasey Pierce

Join us for our monthly conversation with a scholar in Modern Stoicism or another branch of philosophy. This month, we welcome Kasey Pierce, author of 365 Ways to Be More Stoic: A Day-By-Day Guide to Practical Stoicism.

We will explore how Stoicism offers practical wisdom for navigating modern life. Kasey will share insights on handling difficult situations and challenging people, managing anger, worry, and emotional reactivity, embracing moderation, and cultivating meaning while living with greater integrity.

Kasey will also discuss themes from her forthcoming book The Rescuer Trap, including the idea of “values chameleons”—the tendency to adopt a partner’s values to preserve a relationship—and how Stoicism can help individuals maintain personal integrity and healthy emotional boundaries.

Our group fosters open-minded, respectful dialogue on Stoicism and its intersections with science, culture, history, other belief systems, and pop culture (books and movies). We are committed to thoughtful discussion and intellectual growth. When views differ, we agree to disagree.

The conversation will be hosted by Joe Bullock, followed by a Q&A session where attendees can ask Kasey their questions directly.

We look forward to an engaging discussion!
