Live the life you are meant to live.
I write and speak on Stoicism — the ancient philosophy that is more timely today than ever.
Life today is inundated with information. We are overloaded with dopamine and increasingly feel like we are not in control.
But it doesn’t have to be this way! You have the power to decide how to respond to life’s many challenges.
Whether you are a leader, a parent, a business owner, a manager, young, old or middle-age (especially middle age!), Stoicism can put YOU back in control of your life.
“You have the power over your mind and not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength.”
— Marcus aurelius
