We explore the psychological reasons for worrying and the value of timeless stoic wisdom on how to stop it.

In the video, we will take a deeper look at the powerful cognitive ability named “Episodic Future Thinking” which explains the act of worrying from a psychological perspective. However, this cognitive superpower is prone to serious error, leading to extensive and painful worrying.

This is where Stoic philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Epictetus offer practical wisdom on how we can worry less and learn to gradually let go.

All sources and further reading suggestions are mentioned at the end of the video.
The video transcripts will be shared in the future if that is valuable to you guys.

Thank you for watching and I look forward to your thoughts in the comment section.
