Modern Stoicism: How practice discipline and stay calm during the crisis
summary
Claims that Stoic practice is the roots of cognitive behavioral therapy and gives concrete tools: use Headspace or Calm for short meditations, run a night retrospective: good / wrong / improve / appreciate each evening, keep three‑to‑four journaling slots daily to record and reread anxious thoughts, and rehearse worst‑case scenarios to accept outcomes. Focus on control vs. circumstance to act only on what can change. Recommends The Daily Stoic, a 20‑exercise list, and Tim Ferriss podcast episodes.
