Breaking news for Stoics, philosophical seekers, and everyone else who wants to live a meaningful life—I am thrilled to announce a new online course in partnership with Meredith Alexander Kunz, called The Philosopher’s Compass: A Guided Journey to Finding Purpose!
Meredith and I are teaming up to present this brand new four-week class, held every Saturday in April at 9 am PDT / 12 noon EDT / 5 pm BST. In this discussion-based, growth-oriented course we will provide philosophical tools to help each person find their own version of a meaningful life. Key components include
Weekly Zoom classes for us to introduce and talk over Stoic principles
Breakout sessions and peer coaching with other participants
Optional journaling and reflection homework
By the end of the course, you will walk away with a purpose statement that will guide you in making decisions, staying true to your principles, and living your purpose every day. Along the way we will explore Stoic topics such as virtue, values, role models, and living in accordance with nature.
Of course you’ll also get to spend time with Meredith (creator of The Stoic Mom and co-author of Beyond Stoicism) and me (well, you already know me, but you can look at my official website if you like). We both have many years of experience helping people find meaning through Stoicism. Best of all, you’ll also get to spend time with other attendees who are probably walking a similar path with you and asking similar questions. Having deep discussions with fellow travelers is always one of the most valuable tools for growth and inspiration, and it’s something we’re excited to bring you in this course.
Here are some more details, followed by the official course description:
