Stoic Week 2024

In 2019, I became interested in Massimo Pigliucci's book "How to Be a Stoic" and decided to read it. From it, I learned that the stereotypical image associated with the word "stoic" doesn't fully reflect the essence of Stoic philosophy. It's much more interesting and, more importantly, practical. I liked the book so much that I even started a series of sketches based on it, but I've put it aside for now.

From there, I also learned about something called "Stoic Week." It's an annual event where each day of the week is dedicated to studying a specific Stoic discipline. In the morning, you watch a short video or read an article and spend the day thinking about the dichotomy of control, emotions, or virtues. Afterwards, you can discuss it with someone if you decided to participate together. It turns out to be quite interesting.

If you want to learn about the practical aspects of Stoic philosophy, you can register and participate in "Stoic Week" through this link, and try out the practical teachings of Stoic philosophers for yourself. It starts on October 28th. I recommend it!
