What we’re about
This is a meeting place and discussion group for folk living in Stockholm who are interested in trying to live a good life using modern Stoic philosophy. We will focus one aspect of Stoic thought and practice each meetup, and discuss it together.
ABOUT STOICISM
The Stoics used various practical techniques for vastly reducing negative emotions, many of which have been adopted into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. However, they also believed in cultivating good character in the form of four virtues: wisdom, courage, justice and restraint.
