Embody it.” And Aristotle himself said: “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”\n\nOur aim is not to choose sides, but to ask: how can we take the best insights from any philosopher, Stoic, Aristotelian, or otherwise—and weave them into our daily lives? The goal is simple yet profound: to live well, to live a life worth living, what the Stoics call a flourishing life.\n\nWe warmly invite you to join us for a friendly, open discussion on this theme.

These anomalies are challenging our most fundamental theories and may herald transformations in how we think about the basic constituents of matter, and even the history of the cosmos.

Harry will discuss how anomalies have shaped science in the past and explore the current conundrums that could herald the next era in our understanding.\n\n**Dr Harry Cliff** is a particle physicist at the University of Cambridge who works on the Large Hadron Collider, a huge particle accelerator buried 100 metres underground at CERN near Geneva.

Written almost two thousand years ago, it remains just as relevant today. Seneca calls anger a “brief madness,” warning that it can easily overtake reason and lead us to act in ways we later regret. Yet his message isn’t about suppressing emotion, but about understanding it, learning how to notice the early signs of anger and to respond with patience and perspective instead of impulse.\n\nIn the essay, Seneca writes, “The greatest remedy for anger is delay.” We’ll look at how that idea, and others from the text, might help us manage frustration and conflict in our daily lives. From dealing with difficult people to staying calm in moments of stress, his advice feels surprisingly modern. Together we’ll reflect on how ancient Stoic principles can guide us toward greater self-control, empathy, and peace of mind.\n\nEveryone is welcome, whether you’re completely new to Stoic philosophy or already familiar with it. There’s no need for any background knowledge, just an interest in exploring ideas about how to live well and think clearly.\n\nA free PDF of On Anger is attached for anyone who’d like to read it before the meeting. It isn’t essential to read it in advance, but it may help you get more from the discussion. Come along for a relaxed, open conversation about one of the most challenging emotions we all face.\n\n[On Anger - Seneca](https://archive.org/details/seneca_anger)\n\n[On Anger (selection)- Seneca ](http://pioneer.chula.ac.th/~pukrit/bba/Seneca.pdf)","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1760292712000","seoName":"on-anger-how-to-control-your-anger-according-to-seneca","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-braintree/cate-classes-lessons/on-anger-how-to-control-your-anger-according-to-seneca-6403746713408312/","localIds":"21","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"1fd51942-51fd-4d03-9a98-0df4566f7184","sid":"5d0a22f5-272b-4e62-9f3b-155fe9b30456"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1760292711984,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"classes-lessons","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6506","location":"2 Station Sq, Cambridge CB1 2GA, UK","infoId":"6396633708877112","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/3/d/e/highres_530561950.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Discuss \"Did we learn the right lessons from the second world war?\"","content":"Join us for facilitated conversation.

Although the Stoics did not meditate in the same way that Eastern traditions do, their writings are full of references to the importance of being present and mindful of our impressions and actions. Our freedom lies in the space between stimulus and response, and prosoche refers to the capacity to remain vigilant over this faculty and to cultivate it.\nFor Pierre Hadot, the French philosopher who reintroduced Stoicism as a way of life, prosoche “is the fundamental Stoic spiritual attitude. It is a continuous vigilance and presence of mind, self consciousness which never sleeps, and a constant tension of the spirit. Thanks to this attitude, the philosopher is fully aware of what he does at each instant, and he wills his actions fully. Thanks to his spiritual vigilance, the Stoic always has ‘at hand’ (procheiron) the fundamental rule of life: that is, the distinction between what depends on us and what does not.”\nEpictetus teaches that cultivating our attention is essential for making better choices, as it enables us to assent to the right impressions, make sound judgments, and take the proper course of action. Discourse 4.12 is dedicated to the importance of paying attention and to what we should be mindful of:\n“To what then must I attend? First to those universal principles I have spoken of: these you must keep at command, and without them neither sleep nor rise, drink nor eat nor deal with men: the principle that no one can control another’s will, and that the will alone is the sphere of good and evil. No one then has power to procure me good or to involve me in evil, but I myself alone have authority over myself in these matters. So, when I have made these secure, what need have I to be disturbed about outward things? What need have I to fear tyrant, or disease, or poverty, or disaster?”\nMarcus Aurelius often reminds himself that we possess only the present moment and must remain vigilant about what we choose to focus on:\n“Everywhere and all the time it lies within your power to be reverently contented with your present lot, to behave justly to such people as are presently at hand, and to deal skilfully with your present impressions so that nothing may steal into your mind which you have not adequately grasped.” – Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.54\nFor the Stoics, attending to the present moment—without being dragged into regrets about the past or absorbed in uncertain futures—is also one of the keys to happiness:\n“True happiness is to be free from perturbations; to understand our duties toward God and man; to enjoy the present, without any anxious dependence upon the future; not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears, but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is abundantly sufficient; for he that is so wants nothing.” – Seneca, True Happiness\nBringing our mind back to the present and paying attention to the task at hand—no matter how trivial it may seem—enables us to make the best use of our rational faculties. The Stoics saw attentiveness as a skill that can be strengthened through deliberate practice. While they did not develop specific meditative exercises like those found in Eastern traditions, they were open to adopting helpful practices from other philosophies, such as the Pythagoreans’ self-reflective journaling.\nIn this meeting, we will discuss the role of attentiveness in Stoicism, how mindfulness can help us make better use of our reason and freedom, and how learning to focus our attention supports the pursuit of the good life. We will also share experiences of meditative practices that may enhance our ability to remain present.\n\nWhether you’re curious about how ancient ideas can help with modern problems, or just fancy a thoughtful conversation in good company, you’ll be very welcome. Come as you are — there’s always something to take away.\n\nFurther
