Feeling stressed and anxious? Want to live a happier life?

The Stoics were working on exactly that problem two thousand years ago—and what they actually taught is stranger, sharper, and far more useful than the grin-and-bear-it, feel-nothing version that probably comes to mind.

Join us to welcome former philosopher and lecturer Sonya Wurster for a lively, interactive evening on Stoicism: why almost everything you think you know about it is wrong, what it really says about living well, and why it speaks so directly to modern life.

Along the way we'll meet the Stoics' great rivals, the Epicureans—the contrast throws into sharp relief what makes the Stoics distinctive. Take a quick quiz to find out which camp you'd have joined, and maybe leave with a few ideas genuinely worth trying.
