Description

This recording introduces the Stoic Test Strategy, a powerful psychological technique for managing setbacks and improving well-being. Inspired by William B. Irvine's book 'The Stoic Challenge,' the strategy involves reframing setbacks as tests administered by imaginary "Stoic gods." This reframing allows you to respond to challenges calmly and constructively, rather than with negative emotions.
