Called to Question
presents
"How Never to Worry Again:
When Ancient Stoic Philosophy and Modern Psychology Collide."
with the return of guest speaker
Stephen Brown, Ph.D.
(Stephen completed his Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology/Cognitive Neuroscience in 2015 at Leiden University (The Netherlands). His dissertation focused on the role of the locus coeruleus, a small brainstem nucleus, and noradrenaline (a signalling chemical in the brain) in attention and learning.)
We will begin with a very brief history of the Stoic school, it's main players(casually skipping the middle stoa) and then discuss some of the school's central tenets. With a number of discussion points, we can explore Stoic thought in more detail. Along the way, we will learn how never to worry again, how modern clinical psychology was partially inspired by Stoicism, and quite possibly the meaning of life too...

Last night we hosted this event with return guest speaker Stephen Brown. My wife and I have had the privilege of getting know Stephen more and more over the last half year. His knowledge seems bottomless and his presentation is wonderful. Learning from the likes of Stephen is as easy as breathing.
