Stoic Thinking

Reflect daily in the style of Marcus Aurelius.

Practice the Stoic exercise of raising your point of view to bring your problems back to their real size.

Apply Stoic wisdom to turn problems into raw material: perception, action and will.

Treating someone slightly further out as if they were slightly closer.

The gap between knowing and doing doesn't close by reading: it closes by practicing.

Visualize obstacles to prepare yourself and reduce anxiety.

Cultivate a learner's humility so you keep growing: work without announcing it, and value truth over applause.

Applying an idea's own scrutiny to itself is what it asked for.
