Practical Stoicism: A Free Introduction for People Who Overthink

Do you replay conversations in your head, rehearse problems that have not happened yet, or find it hard to start the task in front of you because your mind is somewhere else?

In this free hour of practical Stoicism, you will learn how the Stoics handled overthinking and how you can use their method on a real worry of your own. You do not need any background in philosophy, and you will not sit through a lecture. We will practise together, live.

By the end of the hour, you will have turned one worry into one small action you can take today, and you will have a 60-second pause to use the next time you start overthinking.

What we will do:

• See why overthinking pulls you out of the present
• Turn one real worry into a small action you can take today
• Learn a short pause for the next time something triggers you
• Ask me anything you like at the end

When: Saturday, November 28, 17:00 to 18:00 CET (11:00 to 12:00 Eastern, 16:00 UTC). It takes place online, and you will receive the link when you RSVP. If you cannot attend live, RSVP anyway, and I will send you the replay.

About me: I am Benny Voncken, founder of Via Stoica. I coach people with Stoic philosophy, host the Via Stoica Podcast, and lead Stoic walks across European cities. At the end of the hour, I will share how to go deeper if you want to, with no obligation.

Bring a notebook and one thing that has been on your mind lately.

Stoically yours
Benny
