Lesson 2:
The Four Virtues
Wisdom, Justice, Courage, and Temperance.
Each virtue guides clear choices in daily life. You’ll be able to define each one and spot a simple behaviour that expresses it today.
Lesson 1:
Introduction to Stoicism
Stoicism is a practical philosophy for living well, not a classroom theory.
You’ll see how its aim is a good life through virtue, regardless of circumstances. By the end, you will recognise some or the key historical figures, explain Stoicism in one sentence and name its central goal.
Lesson 3:
The Dichotomy of Control
Spend energy where it counts.
Learn to separate what’s up to you from what isn’t.
This filter reduces wasted energy and sharpens action. You’ll break a real problem into controllables and choose the first small step.
Lesson 4:
The Three Disciplines
Perception, Action, Will
Perception, Action, and Will form the Stoic operating system. Use them to see clearly, do what’s right, and stay steady under pressure.
You’ll map any challenge to the right discipline and tool.
Lesson 5:
Perception in Practice
Mindfulness and Assent
Training attention changes how thoughts land.
With present moment awareness and the assent triad, you can assent, deny, or suspend judgement. You’ll practise meeting a triggering thought with choice rather than reflex.
Lesson 6:
Facing Fate and Loss
Memento mori + Praemeditatio malorum
Remembering mortality clarifies what matters now.
Negative visualisation rehearses setbacks so you’re grateful and prepared.
You’ll use memento mori and praemeditatio malorum to meet loss with composure and care.
Lesson 7:
Amor Fati and Adversity
Turning Obstacles into Training
“Even this is training” turns friction into practice.
Reframing adversity reveals the next virtues‑aligned move.
You’ll translate one setback into a purposeful, forward action.
Lesson 8:
Stoicism in Relationships
Managing Emotions and Expectations
Less reactivity, more respect.
Apply control, clarity, and boundaries to conversations that matter.
You’ll use charity of interpretation and value‑based limits in one real point of friction.
Lesson 9:
Stoicism at Work
Professional Excellence Through Philosophy
Better work comes from better character.
Bring the four virtues to decisions, teamwork, and follow‑through.
You’ll define your role duties, set guardrails, and take one just action for your team.
Lesson 10:
Build Your Stoic Practice
Ten minutes. Lifetime ROI.
Small, consistent practice compounds.
A ten‑minute daily loop plus a weekly review keeps you steady and improving.
You’ll run a simple checklist you can keep for life.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
Stoicism isn't a religion, though it can complement various spiritual practices. It's a practical philosophy focused on living virtuously regardless of your religious beliefs. The Stoics did discuss "Nature" and "Providence" in ways that some find spiritual, but the course presents these concepts in accessible terms that work for both religious and non-religious participants.
-
Not at all. This course is designed specifically for beginners with zero philosophical background. We've stripped away academic jargon to focus on practical applications. Each lesson builds naturally from first principles, so you'll gradually develop your understanding as you progress..
-
Each video lesson is approximately 10-15 minutes long, with accompanying text you can read in 5 minutes. The daily practice requires just 10 minutes. Most students complete one lesson per week over 10 weeks, dedicating about 30 minutes weekly plus the daily practice. However, you have lifetime access and can progress at your own pace.
-
While books provide valuable knowledge, this course offers structured application. Rather than just explaining concepts, we guide you through practical exercises and build a sustainable daily routine. We've distilled the most actionable elements from thousands of pages of Stoic texts into a focused system you can apply immediately, giving you a jump on years of independent study.
-
Yes. Many students of Stoicism report significant reductions in anxiety and improved stress management. Stoicism provides concrete tools for distinguishing between what you can and cannot control, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and maintaining perspective during difficult situations. The daily practice builds resilience over time, though this isn't a replacement for professional mental health support when needed.
