Your mind can either work for you or against you.
The Stoics understood something thousands of years ago that still matters today: you cannot control everything that happens around you, but you can learn to control how you respond to it.
In this video, we look at what it really means to control your mind, manage your emotions and stop allowing outside events, other people's opinions and difficult circumstances to dictate the way you think.
Drawing on Stoic philosophy, psychology and human behaviour, we'll explore how greater self-control can change the way you deal with pressure, setbacks, criticism and uncertainty.
Marcus Aurelius wrote extensively about the power we have over our own thoughts. That idea wasn't simply philosophy for him - it was a practical way of dealing with responsibility, conflict and an unpredictable world.
The world has changed enormously since the time of the Stoics.
Human nature hasn't.
