Loved the course(s) introducing me to stoicism about which I’d known almost nothing. While not a traditional review, Doug gave us a short suggested “assignment” at the closing of the course, here’s my take : in finishing Doug Robson’s 21 days of Stoicism, the quotes from Epictetus from Part I stood out (1) no great thing is created suddenly, (2) progress is not achieved by luck or accident, but by working on yourself daily, and (3) the trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths. And moving forward, what are my gifts to the world through a stoic lens? To me, they remain my 3 core values: my compassion, curiosity and connection. Doug challenges us to find the hidden phrase Memento Mori Memento Vivere “remember that you must die" and "remember to live" respectively. Great advice from the stoics and as presented by Doug in this set of 3 courses, thank you for it all! 🙏🏼

Wow I am going to miss the last 21 days so much! I have such level of clarity about principles I had but now are solidified by Douglas stoics teachings It was a wonderful experience and probably one of my most hands on and transformational courses I've done on Insight Timer I will be forever grateful!

I’ve done all three courses about stoicism by Douglas Robson…. i’m inspired….. my style is to do the courses more than once … the first time is kind of a run-through. I’ll go back and be thorough. I find it fascinating how wisdom shows up in my studies of different disciplines and philosophies….. there really must be a cosmic connection through the ages. I truly appreciate the disciplined, well written courses that Douglas is offering. He is witty and clear and keeps the work vividly alive. Truly a fine pedagogue!!!!
