🤔 Don’t know where to announce this so, I’ll just use this latest post of Massimo’s. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The Great Courses on “Think Like A Stoic: Ancient Wisdom for Today’s World,” along with his colleague, Dr. Skye Cleary’s course—a 24-lecture course on “Existentialism and the Authentic Life”—are at a discount for the next 24 hours. They even promote them as pair at a further discount. And if you add your ongoing, signup promo code, it will yield a deeper discount.😊

I really enjoy Massimo’s course (need to see it over again as you study). And patience is a virtue, and pays off in that I finally acquired her course that Massimo I will not regret it. 👍🧑‍🏫👨🏻‍🏫

Thanks for letting me know, Mike! For some strange reason The Teaching Company didn’t alert me!

Wow! I have just received your Handbook for New Stoics. I’m excited to get started. I am part of a book club on the Stoic Fellowship Network. We are going to start the end of December for 52 weeks.

Nick from The Stoic Fellowship told me that you want me to chime in on the book club. Happy to do so!

I didn't want to impose on your time by asking, but when Nick brought it up, I told him we'd love to have you chime in (as much or as little as you like). However, if you drop in and find it's a train wreck, you can blame me.

I'm bad at checking in on some sites, so feel free to ping me if there's an opportunity for me to step in!

Blame is definitely not a Stoic value…

True. I guess that's my way of saying I am open to criticism.

That definitely is a Stoic virtue!

David, enjoy! So glad the group is starting the series with the new year!

After doing How to Be Stoic in our book club, it was an easy decision to use A Handbook for New Stoics as our syllabus for 2025's Stoic practice on SFN. I hope we do it justice.

I hope you’ll enjoy and, especially, benefit from it!

But it's so much more fun to bloviate, rant, insult, and display vast self-satisfaction and confidence! (No--don't call it arrogance.)
