Stoicism and Mental Health: Piotr Stankiewicz on Resilience During a Pandemic

We need to take into account all the facts, developments and everything that happened between us and the ancients. We need to kind of factor that in, and one of the absolutely fundamental facts that happened in The Last Two Millennia is that science was established and developed and that it grew to the position it occupies Today.
How do you keep your mental balance when the world feels upside down? In this episode of the Stoic Solutions Podcast, host Justin Vacula sits down with philosopher Piotr Stankiewicz to explore the relevance of Stoicism in a pandemic-stricken world. Stankiewicz, a seasoned author and teacher, brings his unique perspective from Warsaw, Poland, shedding light on how ancient Stoic principles can be a lifeline in modern times.
The conversation dives deep into mental health, personal responsibility, and the art of flexibility, offering listeners practical tools to cultivate a strong mindset amidst chaos. Piotr shares his own experiences during the pandemic, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection and community. He also discusses his works, including 'Does Happiness Write Blank Pages?' and 'A Manual of Reformed Stoicism', highlighting how Stoicism can be adapted to our contemporary world, enriched by scientific advancements.
Whether you're seeking to navigate these uncertain times or simply looking for timeless wisdom to enhance your life, this episode promises to be a treasure trove of insights.
