Q&A "Greek Philosophy can make you take charge of your life"

​LIVE FROM ATHENS GREECE: LIVE PHILOSOPHY Q&A SESSION

​Greek Philosophy can make you TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE. 

In today’s fast paced, technological, consumer-driven society, people experience deep levels of anxiety and having ‘lost religion’ to science, there is a real vacuum which Greek Philosophy can help fill.

In recent years it is experiencing a rebirth, through a movement called “Modern Stoicism”.

Many famous people have espoused Stoicism from Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Victor Frankl, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, to Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It is not by chance that Steve Jobs had once said, “I would give up all my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.”

Stoicism is, in a sense, the Western world’s answer to Buddhism.

Modern Stoicism, like Modern Humanism too, is increasingly appealing to people who:

• Want to live an ethical, value-based life informed by science and reason
• Want their philosophy to be at the same time coherent and flexible enough to adjust to new times and circumstances.
  

Even though over two and a half thousand years have passed, the way of Greek philosophy is eternal and is universal for all humans. It is a set a values and practices, which anybody can apply and benefit from, regardless of their faith, to make them inwardly strong and free no matter how challenging a situation may be.
