Hey friends, I'm pleased to bring you my latest SkillShare class that's being released today - How to Be Happier - A Stoicism Masterclass. I've taken great value from some of the principles of Stoicism over the past few years and so I decided to get together with my friend Sam, who is an expert on the ancient Greek philosophy, to put together this class. Over the course of 12 lessons, we explore the key themes of Stoicism as well as explain how to apply Stoic principles to your own life to foster happier and healthier lives as a result. I really hope you enjoy it!

11:50 "If you would not have a man flinch when the crisis comes, train him before it comes"
14:25 "When you are alone, you should call this tranquility and freedom and when you are with many you shouldn't call a crowd, or trouble or uneasiness but festival and company and contentedly accept it".
