In our post-capitalist society it is easy to wonder why so many of us are still struggling with a feeling of meaninglessness.

More than 2000 years ago Aristotle, Epicurus and the Stoics were pondering the same things and providing potential solutions to this dilemma.

John Graves is a teacher of Psychotherapeutic Studies, Life Coach, and life-long philosophy student sparked by the early teachings of his Greek mother.

Today he will introduce us to some of the wisdom from our Ancient Agony Uncles – showing us how relevant these ideas still are, hopefully saving us having to pay for self-help books!
