3 Stoic Exercises

What's inside
-
The Debt of Influence
The private practice Marcus Aurelius used before any philosophy — and the reason most people discover they are carrying more good than they have recently noticed. Takes five minutes. Leaves you calmer than when you started.
-

The counterintuitive method one of Rome's wealthiest men used to dissolve anxiety before it arrived. A single deliberate act, done today, that removes an entire category of fear. Seneca called it inoculation.
-
The Mortality Pause
A sixty-second exercise from the emperor's private journal. It sounds stark. Every person who tries it reports the same thing: their mental noise quiets almost immediately — and the answer to what matters becomes obvious.
