Ancient Wisdom for Modern Anxiety — Join My New Live Workshop
Hello everyone,
I’m excited to share something new. This December I’ll be teaching a live, two-hour online workshop as part of the Five Things I’ve Learned series:
👉 REGISTER NOW: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Anxiety
📅 Thursday, December 4 — 8pm Eastern
For over two decades I’ve studied the Stoics — and used their wisdom alongside modern cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Again and again, I’ve seen how their timeless techniques can help us manage stress, quiet anxious thoughts, and build resilience in the face of life’s challenges.
In this workshop, I’ll share five of the most powerful Stoic practices you can start using right away, including:
How to shrink worries with the “View from Above”
How to prepare for adversity with Premeditatio Malorum
How to step back from anxious thoughts using Stoic-inspired CBT methods
How to anchor yourself in your values and character
How to create your own inner mentor to guide wiser decisions
This isn’t a lecture on philosophy. It’s a practical guide to tools you can actually use.
What others say about my teaching

“I was seeking ways to become more emotionally resilient, and Donald’s course helped me to do that.” — Melanie Wight
“Got into Stoicism recently and it really does change how your mind works dramatically. For someone with ‘issues’ this is priceless.” — Jamie Busby

In the lead-up to the workshop, I’ll be sharing details of some new resources — an infographic guide to five Stoic secrets for resilience and a worksheet for decatastrophizing. Sign up now and you’ll receive these as bonus content at the event.
I’d love for you to join me live. This will be an opportunity to explore ancient wisdom in a very practical way — and to apply it directly to one of the biggest challenges of modern life: anxiety.
See you in December,
