How to overcome fear and any obstacles in your way?
"Life IS Trouble"- Said Zorba, a character in a book by the same name by Nickos Kazantzakis....Especially you, who has so many responsibilities on your shoulders. How can you overcome all those obstacles, like Odysseus, the hero of Greek mythology, and finally achieve your goal of happiness, thriving fulfilment?
This week's video is of a short speech I gave at the 8th Arab-Hellenic Forum,
where I shared The ALKISTIS Method, based on Aristotle, Socrates and the Stoic schools of philosophy, (combined with Neurocoaching and CBT). Sincerely, Alkistis May the Light of Greece Inspire You To Be Your Best Self. PS.

Do you ever wonder how some people just seem to have calm
and certainty, no matter what they are faced with? This is sometimes referred to as "stoic'"calm, because Stoics, since the times of ancient Greece, were known for their mental and emotional resilience.
They practiced "Ataraxia" (serene calmness). In today's video, I will reveal to you 2 central concepts of Stoic practice, that can help you face life's challenges and obstacles with self-mastery. "The greatest victory, is over oneself"- Plato. 
Although physically ugly, Socrates had great charisma
and a brilliant mind. Everyone in Athens agreed that there had never been anyone quite like him and probably wouldn’t be again. He was unique....But he was also extremely annoying. Socrates described himself as one of those horseflies that have a nasty bite—a gadfly. They’re irritating, but don’t do serious harm. Some loved him; others thought him a dangerous influence.’ Socrates would approach perfect strangers in the marketplace and ask them questions about their life... While Socrates’ questions often seemed ‘straightforward’, they were really designed to make the other person think hard about his beliefs and re-evaluate things that they would normally take for granted.
