Zoom Session w/ former Congressman Steve Israel: December 11, 2024

In this session, former Congressman Steve Israel offers us a strategic roadmap for this moment that’s unique from any other – a roadmap based in the ancient wisdom of stoicism. These stoic teachings helped him sustain through the intense challenges of being a congressman, and he offers them to us now as tools to help us handle the challenges we all face in this work. Check out his presentation, where he teaches us how to be the “C.E.O” of our own lives and proposes six stoic strategies we can utilize in this moment:

• Manage your mind

• Practice mindfulness

• Make the best move you can

• Show them a better way

• Be like a rock amongst the waves

• What’s in the way is the way

• Know your purpose

Congressman Israel makes a compelling case for this strategic plan, with some incredible stories from history along the way. Check it out here:
