The Stoic's Path to Peace

An Ancient Cure for Modern Anxiety?


In a world of constant notifications, endless demands, and an uncertain future, how can we find a sense of inner peace?

Many of us feel that our modern problems—burnout from a 24/7 work culture, digital distraction, and chronic anxiety—are unique to our time. We often look for solutions in modern psychology, technology, and self-help, believing that old ways of thinking can't possibly keep up.

But what if the operating system for a resilient mind was already perfected 2,000 years ago? What if an ancient philosophy, born in the bustling streets of Athens and practiced by Roman emperors and slaves alike, holds the keys to navigating our modern chaos? This is the promise of Stoicism.

This dialogue brings these two worlds together. You'll hear from a Seeker, a modern individual wrestling with the very real pressures and anxieties of 21st-century life, and a Stoic, who speaks with the timeless wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus.

Together, they explore the essential questions:

  • Can a 2,000-year-old philosophy truly address modern anxiety?
  • How does Stoicism work with modern tools like therapy and medicine?
  • Is it possible to find peace while living in a demanding, fast-paced world?
  • What is the real difference between what we can control and what we can't?

This is not an academic lecture, but a practical and compassionate conversation. Join us as we explore whether the Stoic's path is a viable route to peace in our time.
