Contrary to the common belief that Stoicism is about suppressing emotions, in reality it equips us to navigate life with a balanced perspective.

Continuing to develop the four core principles of Stoic philosophy: wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance, Mel’s discussion demystifies them while illustrating their relevance in our everyday encounters. These are not just lofty ideals, but practical tools for ethical living and personal growth.

Mel wraps up by sharing the benefits of incorporating these principles into modern life, and includes some daily practices you can start using today!!

Discover the answers to these questions, and more:
