Brigid Delaney: how to be Stoic in Chaotic Times

From Saturday Morning, 10:07 am on 17 December 2022

If you're feeling frazzled with the festive season, then you might want to take a leaf out of Brigid Delaney's new book.
 
The author and senior writer for Guardian Australia says she spent years living a chaotic lifestyle but in 2018 turned her attention to Stoicism, an ancient philosophy which promotes the idea that we shouldn't unnecessarily worry about things outside our control.
 
Drawing on age-old schools of thought, Delaney's book Reasons Not to Worry, How to be Stoic in Chaotic Times offers practical tips for everything from beating FOMO, dealing with pandemic pandemonium and finding inner calm.
